The couple plunged to their deaths from a 17-story window at a building on 33rd Street between Park and Madison avenues, according to an NYPD spokesperson, while pedestrians were passing by at 5:45 a.m.
The tragic jump came after Scarpelli wrote a note titled, “We had a wonderful life.”
The couple had children ages 19 and 20, the Post reported. Scarpelli worked as a chiropractor in New York.
