For the second time in a week, a young woman has died after falling from a Manhattan apartment building.

Tyler Thorpe’s devastated mother and grandmother clung to one another Saturday outside the Bronx apartment where the three lived.

“She was smart. She was talented. She had a lot to live for. She was only 26,” mother Lesley Stewart said. “This is a parent’s nightmare.”
