Around 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, Simon Sassoon, 24, died after falling from a third-story window in Williamsburg while he was watching the New York City Marathon.
He was discovered unresponsive after falling close to South 6th Street and Bedford Avenue, and a local hospital later declared him dead. Although an investigation is ongoing, authorities do not believe foul play is involved.
