The rest of the body was recovered from a setback on the 30th floor. The tragedy in the 102-story building closed portions of the busy Midtown Manhattan street while the investigation continued. Police identified the man as Moshe Kanovsky, a lawyer in his 30s. More than 30 people have committed suicide at the Empire State Building since it opened in 1931, including a 21-year-old man in February 2006. The skyscraper reaches 1,454 feet to the top of its lightning rod.Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
