A MAN who jumped to his death from a Midtown apartment early Sunday is believed to have run from a traffic stop, cops say.
Joley Aristhee was found dead by authorities in an alley behind 347 W 48th Street in Hell’s Kitchen after receiving reports of a trespasser on the building roof.

The man was stopped by NYPD officers in his car around 1:50am for illegally tinted windows, police said. As he was seemingly pulling over, his car struck a parked vehicle.
That’s when Aristhee jumped out of his car and started fleeing, said police.
Officers gave chase but lost him before getting reports of a suspicious person on the roof of the five-story West 48th building.
Police arrived at the scene and heard something fall in the back alley. Eventually, they found Aristhee’s body.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Aristhee was, at least, the second fatal jumper around that area in a week.
Former Miss USA titleholder, Cheslie Kyrst jumped to her death from the 29th floor of her apartment building on West 42nd Street. She was 30.
