You never know what lies beneath the surface of a person’s skin where pain can be masked. Trouble lurks in unexpected places.The Daily Mail reports that an attractive banker and charity worker described as having 'everything anyone could want' jumped to her death from the roof of the 40-storey Trump Place building in New York.
Jessica Fashano, 27, was found face down in a third-floor courtyard in Manhattan just after 8am on Saturday morning in a suicide that has left her friends and colleagues as baffled as they are distraught.
Her shocking plunge from an enormous height led one witness to say the sound of the impact was 'so loud I thought part of the building was falling.'
Fashano had worked as an analyst with Citigroup since graduating from Georgetown University in 2005 and was so well thought of - thanks in large part to her charity work - that she featured in the company's recruitment video.
She led fundraisers for the Acumen Fund, which makes small-business loans to people in developing countries, and recently helped coordinate an event for Harboring Hearts Housing, a charity that provides affordable accommodation for heart patients.
'She just had everything someone could want to be successful,' said friend Michelle Javian.
'She was always the leader, had everything organised.
'It’s like something just changed overnight. Something just snapped, and we don’t know.'
At work, colleagues posted messages of remembrance on her Acumen profile page with Yasmina Zaidman commenting: 'I can only imagine the impact that this will have on so many people that love her and admired her generosity and warmth.'
Seth Nemeroff said: 'I am truly shocked and saddened. Jessica was a joy to be around and work with.'
Kim Ward wrote: 'Her smile, energy and generosity will be remembered forever.'
Miss Fashano's Facebook profile has been removed but friends set up their own tribute page to her on the social networking site where friends remembered her kindness.
