Jessica Fashano Commits Suicide - Yesterday morning, a 27-year-old woman apparently jumped to her death from a Trump Place building on the Upper West Side. The Daily News reports, "Police said Jessica Fashano... jumped from the top of the 40-story Trump Place tower on Riverside Blvd. at 8:15 a.m.," and the Post says she "landed face down in a third-floor courtyard just after 8 a.m." A resident told the News, "It was outside my window [and] it was a really bad sound - a boom...
