A 34-year-old man died after a fall from the Whitney Museum of American Art in Manhattan on Wednesday, July 30. Police responded to a 911 call at around 5:26pm, the New York Police Department (NYPD) told Hyperallergic. Upon arrival at 99 Gansevoort Street, they found the man “unconscious and unresponsive on the sidewalk outside the location with injuries indicative of falling from an elevated position.” “Authorities are still determining the details, but we are devastated that a visitor lost their life,” a Whitney Museum spokesperson told Hyperallergic. “Our thoughts are with their family and friends, and with our staff, visitors and neighbors who were nearby when it occurred.” The Whitney will remain closed today, Thursday, July 31.
