David Caquais, 43, jumped to his death from his fourth floor Manhattan office

David Caquais, 43, opened at window at Catch NY on the fourth floor of a building in Manhattan's Garment District and jumped out about 9pm on January 2.

The mannequins were in the office as part of a retail project that the company was doing.

'He’s yelling all kinds of things. He goes to a fourth window, and that’s when he gets enough room to get his body through and he jumps,' the worker said.

Mr Caquais' co-worker told police that the father-of-three from Staten Island had smoked PHP prior to his suicide and one of his bosses said he had a history of drug use, according to the Post.

Mr Caquais' bosses said he they had seen him acting strangely at least once in his two years at the company.
