Bed Bath & Beyond on Sunday confirmed that its Chief Financial Officer Gustavo Arnal died over the weekend, after police had said earlier that Arnal fell to his death.

“The entire Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. organization is profoundly saddened by this shocking loss,” the company said in a statement.

According to a spokesperson from New York’s Office of the Deputy Commissioner, the public information office for the city’s police department, a man identified as Gustavo Arnal, 52, fell Friday afternoon from a building in downtown Manhattan. The iconic skyscraper, known locally as the “Jenga Tower” or the “Jenga Building,” has more than 50 floors of uniquely stacked apartments.

Emergency Medical Services declared the victim deceased on the scene, according to the DCPI spokesperson, who added that the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the cause of death. At this stage, the investigation remains ongoing.
