A wealthy, 89-year-old artificial sweetener magnate who made Sweet’N Low a household name has committed suicide by jumping from his Park Avenue apartment building, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Donald Tober, CEO and co-owner of the New York-based 1,400-employee Sugar Foods, leapt to his death just after 5 a.m. Friday, and was found in the courtyard of the luxury Upper East Side building between 65th and 66th streets, the sources said.

He was struggling with Parkinson’s disease, the sources said.

Which one of the heirs did it?

Sounds like an Arkancide.

I guess we will see what sugar substitute Big Pharma rolls out.

Maybe the cause was actually an overd-ose.

That stuff makes me depressed too.

I switched to monk fruit. Now I’m a happy man.

I guess his apartment was bitter and high.

I won’t use any of those fake sugars. If I accidentally have one sip of Aspartame, I taste metal and get a headache. It’s been over 12 years.

I think it is sad.

[Bob434]

yeah, but leaping? Nope- not how i wanna go out- I wanna go out sound asleep like my Grandma did, not awake and screaming like all of her passengers did

(It’s a joke, no she did that way)

[nickcarraway]

It is.

‘89-year-old’ and then ‘jump’... Do go not go together... Can you say... ‘Assisted’ suicide?

[NachOsten]

Aspartame will do that to you! Ha,ha
