A park-goer made a grim find in Lower Manhattan on Monday morning when they came across a body hanging from a tree, officials said.
The passer-by called 911 around 7:48 a.m. to report finding the dead man dangling next to Pier 42 in the East River Greenway, cops said.
The city Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a suicide. The man was believed to be between 55 and 65 years old, police said.
Release of the man’s name was pending family notification.
