Man leaps to death at Angels' Manhattan hotel

Police say a 39-year-old man jumped to his death in an apparent suicide from the top floor of a Manhattan luxury hotel where the 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 said Jered Weaver and Matt Palmer were across the street at the time, witnessed the fall and were shaken up by it. Neither pitched in the Yankees' home opener.

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