Woman Dies After Fall From UN Building

Hi There,

Obviously there is little information being released, but I can't help feeling that there is something suspicious about this...nor can I help being cynical.

Most suicides are committed with the intention of the remains being found soon, and that they will be taken care of. This woman allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the 19th floor at the back of the building, not the front, where immediate attention would be drawn to the remains. I feel that if this woman had gone to her place of work with the intention to commit suicide, she would have done it within a very short time of arriving there. According to the article, there is an implication that hours passed between her arrival and her suicide, so my hunch is with it not being suicide.

I know it is all speculation, but imagine she got to work early and saw something she wasn't supposed to see.... Jumping (or being thrown) from a building leaves very little evidence of foul play.

Yep, happy chatty people show up early to work only to throw themselves out of the 19th story window of the UN all the time. No suspicion of foul play here. Seriously, who here hasn't thrown themselves out of the 19th story of the UN building? Anyone?

I have worked in Manhattan for some time now and I am in close proximity to the UN. For the life of me, I can't think of 1 office building in Manhattan that has windows which open above the 10th floor.

VERY SUSPECT if you ask me. These are people with diplomatic immunity (or so they like to say) and really don;t care much about people if they are in the way of something. They are some of the rudest people you see on the street of NY City and when you see those cars parked 2 and 3 wide in the street of manhaatn causing all sorts of traffic, rest assured they have DIPLOMAT plates on them...or consulate.

Security guards and investigators placed yellow tape around her heavyset body and blocked some staff from leaving the building

DiBiase was remembered as a chatty and friendly woman who had an interest in computers

It was unclear what job DiBiase held at the UN

In a statement, UN spokeswoman Marie Okabe said, "A UN agency staff member died after falling from the 19th floor of the UN Secretariat Building."At this time there is no suspicion of foul play."
