The left leg, severed below the knee, was bare except for a gray and black argyle sock, Police said.

Almost exactly a year since David Abramowitz jumped from the building (mentalblog.com: A Jew leaps to death from Empire State Bldg.)

OJoe comments: "I knew him in Yeshiva. He grew up in Silver Spring and was a pleasant fellow, but was certainly an individual who needed help for depression and self-criticism. I believe his parents are divorced".
