A 44-year-old Austrian woman who worked for the United Nations plunged from the 19th floor of the iconic Secretariat building Sunday in an apparent suicide leap, police said.
Maria DiBiase, who worked with the Austrian Consulate, was discovered in the complex’s rear courtyard by horrified UN staffers about 8 a.m., police said. DiBiase, who lived in a dormitory on W. 34th St., apparently jumped after showing up for work at the UN early Sunday, police sources said.
Security guards and investigators placed yellow tape around her heavyset body and blocked some staff from leaving the building. Later, DiBiase’s body lay draped with a white sheet on the east side of the 39-story building overlooking the East River.
