Though no eyewitnesses have come forward, people in neighboring buildings recall hearing a loud thud as the bodies hit the roofs of other buildings.

A witness said the boy was wearing Christmas pyjamas.

"They were pumping his chest and working on him, and nothing," said Luis Ortiz, who was at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital, a block away from the scene, when paramedics rushed him in.
"You could tell he was slipping away. They said the father was up there, but they didn't bring anyone else in. It was just heartbreaking. I have two kids of my own. They tried to do the best they could."

The body of the father was found on the roof a building located at 425 W. 59th and the body of the young toddler was found at 445 W. 59 St atop of a four-story building, according to police
