Early yesterday morning, a woman fell to her death outside an Upper West Side townhouse. It's believed that 37-year-old woman was locked out of an apartment at 152 West 76th Street, so she tried to climb in from the outside.

A 29-year-old man fell to his death on Wednesday night when he seemingly tried to find a way into his locked apartment in Greenwich Village. The Post reports that Matthew Morahan had been drinking earlier and was "trying to climb onto his balcony from the roof... Though police had not officially ruled out suicide, a police source and neighbors said [he] had told the super he lost his keys -- only minutes before he fell at 11:45 p.m." Apparently there was a "three-foot wall that separates a rooftop walkway from his terrace" and it's suspected he slipped on that and fell 11 stories. Morahan, a bond trader, landed on a truck "with a bang so loud that 911 callers reported hearing an explosion." He was dead by the time responders arrived. Morahan's neighbor told the Post, "This guy was very friendly, very happy... This was a tragic accident."
