Chalk up another casualty to Global Warming--
when events simply can't be rationally explained.

Hm... Defenestraton?
And was he investigating the Clintons at the time?
“initially reported that the producer, Eric R. Wishnie, was hit by a vehicle that fled the scene, but later they said they had located a witness who saw him as he fell from an adjacent building.”
Fake but accurate. My suspicion is that you’ll see more liberal media types taking this way out in the not to distant future.
I thnk an earlier report said he was suspended or something from work - lots of cutbacks in the leftist MSM industry?
Condolences to Eric R. Wishnie’s family and friends.
Jumped, presumably?
He "FELL" out of his building?
Was it a running fall, a tripping fall, a drunken stupor fall, or an Olympic 2-1/2 gainer fall?
Having successfully proved that acceleration due to gravity exists, he lived another two hours after being found?
How high was his apartment? The second floor?
If witnesses saw him, did he fall around 3 a.m. and they called the police?
Or did the witnesses let him lie in the street until found by the police at 3 a.m.? Along those lines, did he still have his wallet and was there any cash or credit cards in it?
The most puzzling thing for me however, is where you came up with the name "ROCCO PARASCANDOLA" in your title?
A search on the article link you provided shows no "ROCCO".
I only ask because I notice when a paisan has a last name ending in a vowel and it's longer than my ten letters. Plus he's named Rocco, can't beat that for a cool Eyetie first name. I've only got some dull Saint's name.
Where was Hillary when this happened?
This sounds like a suicide to me, although I guess it could have been an accident. Having known a family who experienced a relative’s suicide, it’s devastating for them. Very sad story.
RIP.

The story surrounding Eric Wishnie, the Emmy-winning NBC News producer who fell to his death in Greenwich Village yesterday, just gets more and more depressing. The Daily News reports that his 10-year marriage to Dateline's Dawn Fratangelo was in a state of collapse and that Wishnie was fired from NBC in 2006 because of his alcohol and pill addictions. Wishnie regularly had vodka delivered to his apartment, according to the Post. Brian Williams wrote a tribute to Wishnie in his blog:
"As he had done for years with Tom Brokaw before me, Eric and I travelled the globe. The tsunami in Indonesia, the war in Iraq ... we interviewed presidents and world leaders. He was an enormously talented producer and one of the funniest guys I've ever met ... He raised self-effacing humor to an art form, and he is responsible for easily a quarter of all the music on my iPod. I would often come into work in the morning to find a new CD on my computer keyboard, along with a note from my friend and fellow music-lover Eric — saying that it was vital that I hear this particular new band. He left the News Division a while back, but the place still bears his mark. We will now bear the burden of his loss, along with his loved ones, and of not having Eric in our lives anymore."
Wishnie passed away after a 30-foot fall from the garden roof of his three-story apartment building at West 10th Street & Sixth Avenue. Police found a dozen vodka bottles, empty pill bottles and months of unopened mail inside.
