Coe’s death follows the social media personality gaining traction for his ‘daring’ stunts
Back in April, the 25-year-old posted a photo of him dangling his legs over a skyscraper in Manhattan that caused a lot of worry for his mother.
‘What the hell are you doing,’ his mom commented on the post, to which he quickly responded: ”hahaha just on a roof.’
Other photos show Coe backflipping from various objects into water – including cliffs, boat decks and boating docks.
The Crown Heights, Brooklyn, resident was a growth-marketing associate at Grubhub according to his linkden profile.
‘We are deeply saddened by this news, and our thoughts are with Jackson’s family and friends during this difficult time,’ a spokesperson from the company said in a statement.

In early 2016, Connor Cummings plummeted to his death while trying to climb the Midtown Four Seasons Hotel where he’d been taking photos. He was just 20 years old.
