A 19-year-old New York University student plunged from a friend's sixth-floor window in Manhattan last night in an apparent suicide, cops said.
The incident marked the third reported suicide by an NYU student this fall.
The sophomore from Brooklyn went out a window at another student's apartment at 1 University Place, a residential building owned by the university, at 10 p.m., police said.
The student, whose name was not immediately released, suffered head injuries. She was rushed to St. Vincent's Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead early this morning, cops said.
A university spokesman did not return a call seeking comment.
Two other NYU students killed themselves by jumping into the atrium of the school's Elmer Bobst Library.
A 20-year-old from Evanston, Ill., leaped 10 floors to his death Sept. 12. On Oct. 10, an 18-year-old freshman from Dayton, Ohio, climbed over the same 10th-floor ledge and plunged to his death.
