The couple who jumped to their deaths from a 17-story New York City office building Friday morning, after struggling with debt, have been identified.

Chiropractor Glenn Scarpelli and his wife Patricia,ages 53 and 50, are the victims in the early morning suicide.

They lived close to Wall Street with their two children, Isabella, 20, and Joseph, 19.

But they traveled uptown, to Glenn's recently closed chiropractic practice, just a block from theEmpire State building, to commit suicide.

They jumped from a window of the ninth-floor office around 5:45am, dying as they fell on the hard asphalt of East 33rd Street, near Madison Avenue.

Police covered their bodies with white sheets when they arrived on the scene, shutting down the entire block to investigate.

Public records showed that Glenn owed about $213,000 to the federal government and nearly $42,000 to the state in unpaid taxes dating back to 2003.

But they still managed to sent their two kids to private school, at the elite Loyola School on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Tuition at the Jesuit-run Catholic school is $8,905 for the current year.

Wow

Damn

They selfishly abandoned their children and are asking people to take care of them when they couldn't even care enough to remain alive to do so.



I feel for the children.

In Patricia's suicide note, she asked that their children 20-year-old Isabella and 19-year-old Joseph be taken care of after they die.

Jeez!!!!
Very unfortunate!!!
Now those kids would be handed over to social welfare!!!
Such a pity

93 million naira make this couple commit sucide.. Chai!! Money their children could have paid for them when they grow up and start making money

Taken care by who? The government they are Owning or by Nairalanders reading their suicide movie script. Parents that cannot take care of their responsibilities.

People commit suicide for far lesser amount in Nigeria.

So pathetic.

May we never encounter situations and trials that are higher than our capabilities. Amen

And this is where they went wrong. You're in debt yet because they wanted to keep up appearances, they kept on living above their means. When the pressure to repay the debt became too much, they took the cowards way out.

What happened to cutting you coat according to your cloth, for God's sakes?!!

Their poor children are the real victims. Orphaned suddenly because they had selfish parents.

O boy see fine cars wey police dey use o. Just look at that 20 inch wheel.

Sexy ride mehn

Taken care off by who?? What kind of selfish parents were these two? They abdicated responsibility of their children 'to whom it may concern' and killed themselves. That's wicked.

Did they stop to consider the harm their actions would cause them? Gosh!

Exactly. Just didn't want to say it because I kind of feel bad for them. Parents always try to give you the best you can have. Maybe they just wanted to give their kids the best. But then again, they're gone now and their kids will now be the one swimming in debts

See comments if it were to be Nigeria

Well I rest case

Those grown ass kids will not be handed over to welfare, they are GROWN.
Those people are so weak, selfish and shallow. I only feel for the kids for loosing both their parents at the same time.

I'm sorry this happened to them. But part of a major problem is that they did not want to downgrade their lifestyle. There was no requirement for their children to attend private school, because public school is free. They could have sold all their property and setup payment arrangements with the government. This did not have to happen. Also no one is going to take care of their adult kids. Hopefully they left life insurance for them.

What is the worst the government can do to a debtor? Prison, freeze assets ...that's all. Why kill themselves? What an unstable minded couple!

WTF!.... This is so disheartening...

Nigerians have committed suicide for much less.

You see them on the news all the time.

Not justifying their suicide though

Chai.

Every parent wants the best, but wise parents will teach their kids that life is not a bed of roses. Sometimes we face storms that can be overwhelming and when those times come, we buckle our belts and ride it out. These ones did not want to admit to their children that they were broke so that everyone will adjust accordingly.

It's a lesson. If you want to live a life of ' I better pass my neighbour' without a supporting means, you will destroy yourself, like these two.
