The death of Bed Bath & Beyond Inc’s chief financial officer, who fell from a New York City skyscraper on Friday afternoon, has been ruled a suicide
chief financial officer, who fell from New York’s Tribeca skyscraper known as the “Jenga” tower on Friday afternoon, has been ruled a suicide, the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office said on Monday.The suicide came days after the struggling retailer announced it was closing stores and laying off workers.
The company said it was “in the early stages of evaluating the complaint, but based on current knowledge the company believes the claims are without merit.” On Friday at 12:30 p.m. ET , police responded to a 911 call and found a 52-year-old man dead near the building who suffered injuries from a fall. Police identified the man as Arnal. Bed Bath & Beyond confirmed his death in a press statement on Sunday but gave no details.
Last week, Bed Bath & Beyond said it would close 150 stores, cut jobs and overhaul its merchandising strategy in an attempt to turn around its money-losing business.
