A NEW York City investor jumped to his death from a skyscraper near Trump Tower in an apparent suicide just days after his assets firm once worth $20 billion was liquidated.

Charles de Vaulx, 59, allegedly took his own life on Monday after leaping from the tenth floor of International Value Advisers' office in midtown Manhattan, where he worked as chairman and chief investment officer.

Just couldn’t resist tying it to Trump somehow, I see.

Meh

[glorgau]

Near Trump Tower?

So, this was Trump’s fault?

Note the prominent mentions of Trump Tower as this incident had nothing to do with either Donald Trump or Trump Tower.

He jumped from a skyscraper and the tenth floor was the best he could do?

[VTenigma]

If you are a “renound” investor and you fail in this market maybe a 10th floor swan dive is the right choice.

The omega boutique watch store is closer, right next door. Why not blame it on them?

Did he really jump, or did that evil Trump Tower suck him out of his window?

FTA, “A friend of the Moroccan-born investor likened the tale of his death to a “Shakesperean tragedy”.”

Moroccan, eh?
Hmmmmmm...

Yep. It was also near a number of other large buildings in the area, but none of them were mentioned.

[CIB-173RDABN]

Why was “Trump Tower” in the headline? It had nothing to do with the story.

[Lockbar]

Did he block off the street below to make sure he wouldn’t land on someone walking by? That would be considerate.
