The bodies of the couple are pictured on the ground, covered in white sheets, after their fatal jump Friday morning
LAGOS JULY 30TH (NEWSRANGERS)-A New York in the United States of America commited suicide by jumping to deaths together from a 17-story New York City office building Friday morning, after struggling with debt.
Chiropractor Glenn Scarpelli and his wife Patricia, ages 53 and 50, are the victims in the early morning suicide.
They lived close to Wall Street with their two children, Isabella, 20, and Joseph, 19.
But they traveled uptown, to Glenn’s recently closed chiropractic practice, just a block from the Empire State building, to commit suicide.
They jumped from a window of the ninth-floor office around 5:45am, dying as they fell on the hard asphalt of East 33rd Street, near Madison Avenue.
Police covered their bodies with white sheets when they arrived on the scene, shutting down the entire block to investigate.
The couple left behind suicide notes in a ziploc bag, detailing their ‘financial spiral’. A photo of Glenn’s note, obtained by the New York Post, shows part of the letter, with the full text obscured. However, parts of the note are visible, showing that he talks about how he and his wife ‘had everything in life’, but that they ‘can not live with’ their ‘financial reality’.
In the wife’s suicide note, she asked that their kids be taken care of.
DailyMail.com has learned that the Scarpellis had a history of financial problems and had been pursued for dozens of outstanding tax liens by federal and city authorities since at least 1998.
Glenn Scarpelli had been pursued in federal court over failing to pay back a federal loan issued in 2000 for advanced medical education in 2013, having failed to make most payments over the course of more than a decade.
Public records showed that Glenn owed about $213,000 to the federal government and nearly $42,000 to the state in unpaid taxes dating back to 2003.
But they still managed to sent their two schools to private school, at the elite Loyola School on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Tuition at the Jesuit-run Catholic school is $8,905 for the current year.
Both parents were active supporters of the school while the children attended it, taking part in organizing its annual benefit gala.

A neighbor of the Scarpellis, who did not wish to be named, said she occasionally passed the couple, who lived on the third floor, in the hallway and said they seemed like nice people, who were quiet and kept to themselves.
However she said on each occasion she had seen Scarpelli, he appeared to have been drinking but was not ‘fall-down drunk’.
A bartender at nearby Mad Dogs & Beans, located below the Scarpellis apartment building, said he recognized a picture of the husband, adding that he would come in and have a few drinks but that he was not talkative.
