More details about news of a third apparent NYU suicide: Sophomore Michelle Gluckman said, "I can't take it anymore" and jumped out the kitchen window at 1 University Place, a building not owned by the NYU. Acording to the Post Gluckman and three friends smoked half a joint before she jumped. Witnesses reported Gluckman was throwing things "blocking the kitchen window." A neighbor tells the Post, "When I asked what happened, she said [Gluckman] was freaking out and [Gluckman] said she was going to the refrigerator to get some water." The Daily News learns her two friends tried to stop Gluckman, who made repeated attempts to jump. Another neighbor says, "They were holding her by the legs, they were trying to stop her."
