Police believe that drugs caused a 23 year old Brooklyn resident jumped out of a friend's 8th floor window in Midtown yesterday morning. Pitman and his girlfriend were hanging out with other friends in his girlfriend's cousins' apartment. Police say Pitman, who was already drunk, smoked pot and acted erractically. A 4th floor tenant went to the 8th floor, only to see Pitman "flipping out, banging the walls" and trying to attack others. Shortly after that, Pitman jumped out a window - through the glass and screen, hitting an AC unit on the way down - and landed on scaffolding outside the building.
The ME's office is performing an autopsy. His mother tells the Daily News his behavior before his death "makes no sense" and says that he was not depressed. Pitman graduated from Johns Hopkins last year and was an aspiring musician; he recently performed at Arlene's Grocery.
