HELL'S KITCHEN, NY — A man jumped to his death early Monday morning in Hell's Kitchen, an NYPD spokesman said.

Around 3:15 a.m., the man was pronounced dead at the hospital, an NYPD spokesman said. The NYPD believes the man jumped from the 10-story building's roof, and does not suspect criminality, a department spokesman said.

The man, who was 18-years-old, has not been identified, an NYPD spokesman said.
