A man who jumped off the Empire State building in New York City Tuesday has been identified as a 21-year-old Yale University student.
Cameron Dabaghi was a junior at Berkeley College, according to university spokesman Thomas Conroy. He was from Austin, Texas.
"Yale is extending support to Cameron's family, roommates and friends at this most difficult time," he said.
The master and dean of the college are meeting with students today to mourn together and comfort one another, Conroy said. Counselors from Yale University Health services have gone to the college and are available "around the clock" for any students or other members of the community.
"The university will inform students and others of additional opportunities to remember Cameron as plans are finalized," Conroy said.
Officers were dispatched to 34th Street and Fifth Avenue at 6:19 p.m.. Dabaghi was pronounced dead at the scene.

He came down in front of the Bank of America. Boom! It was an explosion,” said Luis Mosquea, 28, who was manning the front entrance of a women’s boutique on W. 34th St., across from where the man landed.
“His body was shattered and his sneakers were scattered on the sidewalk,” said Mosquea, recalling in horror how stunned pedestrians scampered in every direction to flee the nightmarish sight.
“One guy ran over and covered the body with an umbrella,” he said. “It’s crazy.”
What did Geronimo say when he jumped from an airplane?MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

86 Floors. He probably had a full nine seconds to regret his decision.
I’m praying that none of his family or friends stumble upon this uncivilized thread before the mods get to it with their clean-up tools.
All my research shows that the last name is common in Iran and the first names coupled with that last name are all muslim.
Doesn't matter, it's just that the last name caught my attention.

probably a registered Democrat.... I dont give a shi’ite.
I wonder if half way down he might have thought that this may not be a good idea ....
What if the jumper had hit someone outside Bank of America when he landed? The jumper didn’t think about the fact that he could kill innocent people when he decided to jump.
What about the people on the ground who got splattered by the guy yesterday? It was disgusting and the nasty drizzel and rain yesterday made it worse.
I agree.
