The seventeen-year-old who caught a Queens Center Mall jumper earlier in the week is all checked out after being readmitted to a hospital yesterday to have doctors look at his open head wounds and vomiting that was still occurring following Wednesday's incident. But his mother says that Derrick Osario may have some remaining effects spiritually after the accident. Rosarito Osario tells Newsday, "My son was reborn on April 8 again. With this situation, he was born again that day. That could have been him that died." She told the paper that her son has a long Y-shaped cut crossing his head following the collision. When asked about the woman who landed on her son while committing suicide, she said, "We are praying for [the woman], the decision she made to cut her own life, her family." The father of the boy did not speak publicly at the advice of a lawyer that the family has hired. more ›

After catching the fall of a woman who leaped to her death inside the Queens Center Mall, a teenager has been released from the hospital without any memory of yesterday's accident. Derrick Munoz, a sophomore at Amityville High School, was sitting in a massage chair with his girlfriend on the ground level of the mall when 55-year-old Mary Lovelace landed on him after jumping from the third-floor balcony. He had suffered some non-life-threatening head trauma; his girlfriend told the News, "We were talking and all of a sudden I feel something heavy on me. I get up and I see a lady on the floor." Newsday says that before the jump, Lovelace "appeared to argue with other people, believed to be her relatives, before taking off her shoes and jacket and dropping her purse. She then dangled from a balcony railing and let go." The DA's office says that her two children witnessed the incident. more ›

A 56-year-old woman leapt three stories to her death at the Queens Center Mall this afternoon. Her fall was broken by a 17-year-old boy who was injured, one of many teenagers milling about on the concourse level after school. The woman was in the company of two other teenagers before she jumped. She was pronounced dead at the scene; the teenager she landed on suffered serious head trauma, but is in stable condition at Elmhurst Medical Center. WPIX is saying that the teenage victim was walking on the ground level; NY1 says that he was sitting in a massage chair when the woman fell around 2:30. A witness told the Times, “First I thought it was a gunshot, and I said ‘I’m out of here.’ People started screaming. There was pandemonium and chaos. And I looked below to the lower level and people were screaming that someone had jumped from above.” Police cordoned off sections of the mall and shut down certain escalators leading to the lower level. more ›
