Man ID'd as fall victim from Pittsburgh skyscraper

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Authorities have identified a man who plunged more than 50 floors from the top of a Pittsburgh skyscraper during rush hour, but have yet to conduct an autopsy to confirm he died from the fall and not some other cause.

The man was identified today as 37-year-old Thomas Senchisen, of Pittsburgh. He may have been employed by a contractor working at the 54-story BNY Mellon Center in downtown Pittsburgh.

Senchisen was pronounced dead after falling or jumping from an elevated walkway on the building’s top floor around 4:30 p.m. Monday.

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner scheduled an autopsy for later today.
