A 46-year-old former Playboy centerfold model and her seven-year-old son were found dead Friday morning after jumping out of a window of a 25th floor penthouse suite at a hotel in Manhattan.
The victims have been identified as Stephanie Adams and her son Vincent. The incident happened at the Gotham Hotel, located at 16 46th Street, near Fifth Avenue.
The mother and son checked into the Gotham Hotel, located at 16 46th Street, near Fifth Avenue, around 6pm Thursday.
The two jumped from the 25th floor penthouse before 8:30am Friday morning, using a window at the rear of the building. They landed on a second-floor balcony and were both pronounced dead at the scene. It's unclear if she was holding her son, or if he jumped of his own volition.
The Orange, New Jersey mother jumped to her death as she was locked in a bitter custody battle with her ex, chiropractor Charles Nicolai.
