Dale Cheney, New Canaan, Connecticut investment banker jumps to his suicide death from Bar 54 at the Hyatt Centric in Times Square.
A Connecticut investment banker jumped to his suicide death from a rooftop bar in New York City, a day after filing for divorce.
Dale Cheney, 46, committed suicide on Wednesday at 6.30pm, leaping from Bar 54 at the Hyatt Centric in Times Square.
Cheney, a father-of-three, filed for divorce from his wife, Lauren Cheney, 44, a day earlier.
Cheney’s family in New Canaan, Connecticut, declined to comment on Thursday.
Law enforcement sources told the nypost that police were called to the man’s former Upper East Side home twice in 2008 over domestic disputes with his wife. One of the arguments was over finances.
