NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — A Wall Street executive was killed after falling from his fifth-story New York City apartment over the weekend.

Police said Keith Mastronardi fell to his death while trying to open a window so his cigarette smoke wouldn’t bother his three young children.

Police said the 31-year-old man lost his balance and fell to the courtyard of the East 74th Street building around 10:30 p.m. Sunday.

Mastronardi was the head of USD Exotic Derivatives at Vyapar Capital Market Partners.

The New York Post reports that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development will inspect all the windows in the building.

City law requires that all windows in apartments with children under the age of 10 have window guards.

HPD told the Post it had not received any complaints about the building.

@Lawyer for a day and JimP: Perhaps the monikers should read Grammar/Puctuation cop for a day and ChimP.

Had I been paying more attention to what I was typing when I typed it, or at least proofread, it would have read as…

“Since I resent the implications of that question…Of course he was a white man; were he, let’s say black, he wouldn’t have been opening a window to provide his children with relief from the smoke…He’d have (or, he would have) sent them outside; for both relief, and to buy his next pack; blowing the smoke in their faces upon their return. That’s how most of you roll. Isn’t it?”

As for both replies…Neither are devoid errors. If you’re going to critique someone, be certain to be above reproach. Is that ordinary enough for you?

I wonder if he was under investigation for some ‘bad’ investments he made?

rip keith

get a life…how could you even say that about someone who just passed and lost his family

Trish

This is a man that lost his footing and fell out of a window. Why does the writter needs to mention that the person worked in Wall Street?

Moral Truth

This incident now proves that most wall street workers are alcoholics and thats the moral truth.

If he was a Wall Streeter, he was probably a crook and karma came to call. Sounds like a good addition for the next Final Destination movie. There’s also irony here…The cigarette didn’t kill him, but the opening of a window to spare his children from the second hand smoke did. Classic!

ripkeith

what a terrible comment to say you should be ashamed of your self

jackie

i totally agree/ what a terrible comment! so what the guy smoked, what skeletons do you have in your closet, perhaps a little kiddie porn? wearing womans underwear? oh i could go on! god help you , if this was a member of your family. r.i.p. from a fellow smoker! and god bless and look over this young man’s family
yankee501

You’re right. That was in poor taste.

And Jackie, I smoke, but that doesn’t negate the irony. As for the perversities you mentioned…You’re way off base; and I can only imagine, what if any, deviant behaviors you might partake in; alluding to righteousness through the mentioning of God.

Was he a white man?

yankee501

Since I resent the implications of that question…Of course he was a white man (as if the last name doesn’t speak for itself,) were he, let’s say black, he wouldn’t be opening a window to provide his children with relief from the smoke…He’d of sent them outside – for both relief, and to buy his next pack; blowing the smoke in their faces upon their return. That’s how most of you roll. Isn’t it?

yank, your attempt at intelligent prose smacks of a carpenter attempting delicate gum surgery – he thinks “I’m good with me hands, how hard can this be?”
JimP

@lawyer
anything i add would be redundant, that is all

Bernie Sanders

east 74 th street i would think so !

MONEY

THE RICH DONT NEED WINDOW GUARDS

He must have been smoking more than just cigarettes…
elton

Sharon Fahy

lawyer for a day

tell us more, Sharon. What’s the word for “I like to showcase my knowledge of urban slang so everyone will think I’m up-to-date and worldly” ?

keith

He and his wife were both drunks and a drunken accident, such as this, waiting to happen. Their only real mistake was bringing children into their
addiction and lunacy.
Dan Te

He is a Wall Street executive and could not afford to buy window guards?
Gregg

Smoking kills ! Damn it’s hard to stop !
Go Outside

Since he had children, WHY WAS HE SMOKING IN THE APARTMENT??

Ophelia Roydz

Mind your own business. Smoking is good for you! The lungs are muscles and need exercise. Start by sniffing car and bus fumes. Better yet, go sniff your own butt, dumb ass.

Carlos Liriano

very good question Big nard

Dmytry

If Bloomberg would not be so strict on smoking and did not have to smoke in the appartment he wouldn’t die. Maybe bloomber will help him rase his kids.

Big Nard

Since he had children. Why were there no window guards installed?
