Man jumps off New York hotel roof during Angels' stay

NEW YORK -- Police say a 39-year-old man jumped to his death in an apparent suicide from the top floor of a luxury Manhattan hotel where the Los Angeles Angels were staying.

Police say the man jumped around 8:15 a.m. Tuesday from the Le Parker Meridien. He was not an employee or a guest and it wasn't clear why he was there, or why he apparently jumped.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia says pitchers Jered Weaver and Matt Palmer were across the street at the time and witnessed the fall and were shaken up by it. Neither pitched at the Yankees' home opener. New York won, 7-5.

The hotel has more than 731 rooms and suites that range in price from $300 to $700.
