A 52-year-old woman died after plunging nine stories from the balcony of her Gravesend co-op in an apparent suicide on April 13.
Witnesses, who knew the woman as Felicia, said she was hanging off the balcony of her Harway Terrace apartment at 8:15 am — moments before she plummeted 90 feet to the courtyard below.
“I saw her laying there, and I recognized her by the shoes,” said a maintenance worker that identified himself as Ray. “I asked if she was okay, and she didn’t respond so I called 911 immediately. Her body was still twitching.”
Medics pronounced her dead at the scene, police said.
The woman was sensitive, and appeared unsettled in the days leading up to her death.
“I saw her two days ago pouring coffee — her hands were shaking all over the place,” the groundskeeper said.
The gruesome death came just days after a Brighton Beach man met a similar fate on April 9.
Another Harway Terrace employee said Felicia may have hit some dark days, but she often had a song in her heart.
“She used to sing out loud all the time,” said another maintenance worker who identified himself as Charles. “I used to tell her ‘There’s no age limit on “X Factor.” ’”
