The woman originally hailing from Russia, lived with her husband and their two young children at their $7,500 a month luxury apartment, The Brittany, on 1775 York Ave, New York, just off East 91st.
Glamorous Russian wife jumps after argument with Orthopedic Surgeon husband
Page is alleged to have fallen from the roof of the luxury Manhattan apartment after running from the couple’s apartment after ongoing friction with her partner the dailymail reported.
Her husband, Brian Page, said he ‘wasn’t even home’ when the tragedy unfolded, while declining to answer questions about whether there was a fight.
‘She was the love of my life, my soulmate,’ the heartbroken husband told nypost. ‘I am devastated.’
A previous report told of an ‘un-identified woman’ suffering critical injuries outside the Brittany, clinging to life, Thursday night after ‘falling’ from the top of the Brittany, before dying from her injuries.
Everything to life for …
The woman, since identified as Alina Page was rushed to the New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell, but was pronounced dead on arrival after succumbing to her injuries. Police confirmed that the victim’s injuries were as a result of a fall from an ‘elevated height’.
The building boasts a roof terrace, with sources confirming that Alina Page is thought to have jumped from the highest point.
An NYPD spokesperson told the dailymail that Page’s injuries were ‘consistent with a fall’, and there were no signs of criminality in the death, as authorities continued to investigate.
The young mother moved to NYC with her husband and their two young children from Temple, Texas in 2021.
11 days short of 16 year wedding anniversary
Page, from Russia, married Brian in 2007, and regularly posted about her love for her new New York home along sharing photos on social media of her family and their luxury lifestyle.
Alina and her orthopedic surgeon husband were just 11 days short of celebrating their 16th wedding anniversary.
While police had yet to officially describe Page’s plunge as a suicide, residents told the nypost that the building being equipped with ‘extraordinary safety measures’ to prevent an accidental fall.
‘The railing is really tall … I would say at least 4 feet,’ one renter said about the roof according to the nypost.
‘[The windows] don’t open. They crack. All of them have child safety. I have small cats so they wouldn’t be able to fit through. So she wouldn’t.’
An about page linked to Dr. Brian Page, who worked with the Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, described him specializing as an orthopaedic trauma and limb reconstruction surgeon at Maimonides Medical Center and Maimonides Midwood Community Hospital.
The surgeon is described having received a B.S in Chemistry at the University of California, San Diego, where he graduated cum laude and graduated medical school with distinction from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. The site further states Dr. Page completing his residency at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – the largest hospital system in Texas – and completing two fellowships at the prestigious Hospital for Special Surgery.
The Brittany, which is just a few blocks from Gracie Mansion, is a ritzy apartment building known for its ‘incredible, panoramic water views’ of the East and Harlem rivers.
A two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit can cost around $7,500, according to StreetEasy.
Investigators have yet to say whether there had been prior incidents or episodes of dramatic behavior at the residence along with the ongoing nature and dynamics of the couple’s relationship or whether Alina Page was undergoing mental health therapy or had experienced recent trauma.
