A spokesperson for The New York Police Department (NYPD) identified the man who died on Sunday morning as Christopher De La Cruz, of Queens, New York. In a video shared by the Post shows the moment the young man tries to get over the other side before falling. The outlet reported that he could have possibly been “intoxicated” when he landed on his head and broke his neck. However, police reportedly told the New York Post that De La Cruz had been “attempting to evade the fare”, but that remained unconfirmed as of this Monday.
The NYPD spokesperson said that a medical examiner is set to confirm a cause of death.
