Keith Mastronardi, Wall Street Trader, Dead After Fall From Upper East Side Apartment

A father of three was trying to let smoke out of his apartment when he opened a window and fell out of his fifth story apartment on the Upper East Side.

From the Daily News:

Keith Mastronardi, 31, was discovered dead about 10:30 p.m. Sunday in the courtyard behind his building on E.74th St. between First and Second Aves., police said.

Sources told the News that Mastronardi had been drinking and authorities believed his death was an accident.

Mastronardi was head of exotic derivatives at Vyapar Capital Market Partners.

His death was at least the second deadly fall in New York this month.

In March, a women trying to retrieve her cell phone fell from the 26th-floor of a TriBeCa high-rise.

Last December, a Citigroup analyst jumped to her death from Trump Place.

Re. the lady trying to catch her phone, do people realize that you can back up your phone data and buy a new phone?

I'm sorry for the children. I saw a news report that said alcohol may have played a role.

"Exotic derivatives?"

Isn't that something you get in the VIP room at FlashDancers?
