A MAN dressed in pyjamas was sliced in half after falling 750ft to his death from a tower in New York.
The victim plunged through the marquee of the five-star Mandarin Oriental in Manhattan and hit a busy pavement outside.

The hotel sits on the top 19 floors of the 55-storey Deutsche Bank Center tower – which is also home to some of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities.
A building employee told Daily News: “The marquee cut him in half.”
The man’s arm was found across the street, New York Post reports.
An officer at the scene said the man was wearing pyjama bottoms, a T-shirt and slippers.
He’s not believed to have been a guest at the luxury hotel – which sits on the top 19 floors of the 55-storey Deutsche Bank Center tower.
It’s understood he took a service elevator to the roof before jumping.
He was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 9pm on Thursday.
Cops believe he wandered into the famous hotel – where a standard room with a Central Park View can fetch upward of $1,195 (£938).
Actress Cynthia Nixon, model Gisele Bundchen and musician Jay-Z are among the A-listers who once owned residences in the tower, which lies on “Billionaire’s Row”.
