Gustavo Arnal, the CFO of Bed, Bath & Beyond, has been identified as the man who jumped to his death from the 18th floor of the famous ‘Jenga’ tower in lower Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood Friday.

Gustavo Arnal, who was also an executive vice president for the struggling home goods retailer, plunged from the 18th floor of 56 Leonard Street on Friday, police sources said.

Calls regarding the jump at 56 Leonard Street near Church Street came in at around 12:30pm Friday, according to a spokeswoman for the NYPD.

Arnal was identified as the jumper at the 57-story building – where apartments go for up to $50million – on Friday afternoon, according to the New York Post.

The 60-story building is best known for its purposely misaligned apartments stacked atop each other, resembling the popular game “Jenga.”
