Founder of investment firm, 46, plunges to his death from NYC rooftop bar

[NYPOST] The founder of an investment firm plunged to his death from a Manhattan rooftop bar on Wednesday night, cops and law enforcement sources said.

Dale L. Cheney, 46, man plummeted from Bar 54 at the Hyatt Centric Times Square New York in front of at least two witnesses around 6:30 p.m., police and the sources said.

He landed on the street below and was pronounced dead on scene, cops said.

Two people at the rooftop bar told police that the man jumped off the building, sources said. One woman called 911, saying she heard a loud noise.

The death is being investigated as a suspected suicide, an NYPD spokesperson said
I blame gravity
Law enforcement sources told The Post that police were called to his home twice in 2008 over domestic disputes with his wife. One of the arguments was over finances.

Court records show that the couple had filed for divorce on Tuesday.

Sources said the man was a founder and partner at a Connecticut-based investment company.

Did Mr. Cheney also know PUTIN, Hillary, or the BIDEN's❓

#4 Seems like the 'safety' barrier at Bar 54 might be a bit low.

Perhaps Mr. Cheney was aware of that.

#5 Guess if we are going to re-make 1929, might as well have investors jumping.

*I'm sure one of the selling points of that bar is the view, but yeah that is a low bar for a booze house.

#6 *Hmm* Let's summarize: Investment firm founder. Stock market drop. Financial arguments with (gold digger(?)) wife. Wife files for divorce. Over the rail and *Splat*. ...CoVID or Global Warming was the cause obviously. Or Trump returning to Twitter.

#9 Speaking of Times Square, had a peek yesterday at the first minutes of I Am Legend, and sure enough, no Duffy statue (though a street sign's briefly seen). And of course no Cohan. Visionary!
