It’s not clear how high up the pair were at the Gotham Hotel when they fell, but the 46-year-old woman and the boy were found on a lower balcony at about 8:15 a.m. on Friday. The victims were not immediately identified.
Hotel staff said they had no information. The investigation is ongoing and police stressed the information was preliminary. Police were looking to determine whether the woman had a history of mental illness.
The Gotham Hotel is located on 46th street, about four blocks from Grand Central Terminal, and has 67 rooms over 25 floors.
