A Wall Street trader and father of three died in a freak fall from his fifth-floor Upper East Side apartment, authorities said Monday.
Keith Mastronardi, 31, was discovered dead about 10:30 p.m. Sunday in the courtyard behind his building on E.74th St. between First and Second Aves., police said.
Sources said Mastronardi had been drinking and had been trying to open a window to let smoke out of the apartment when he fell.
Investigators said his death appears to be an accident.
Mastronardi dealt in exotic derivatives for the firm Vyapar Capital Market Partners.
He hailed from Seaford, L.I., and attended the University of Chicago.
A relative who answered the phone at the family home, said Mastronardi had two young sons and an infant daughter, but declined to comment further.
An attendant at a neighboring parking lot said he was startled by the sound of Mastronardi hitting the ground and went running for cover.
"I heard a loud bang from the back," Joe Gomez said. "It sounded like a bomb - very hard. I never heard something like that before."
Gomez said Mastronardi and his children were a fixture in the neighborhood.
"I'd see him passing by with the kids all the time and say hi," Gomez said. "He had three kids."

Accident? Derivatives about to unwind?

Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Quite true.
If it was an off duty union fireman that fell out of the window and landed on a non union pedestrian-------250 posts easy.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

What kind of neighborhood has parking lot attendants at 10:30PM on a Sunday night?
He should've asked himself that question and moved to the country. One story fall. Sore back. Two advil in the morning.

Hit and runs are so passé.
<< <i>He died at 10:30PM on a Sunday night and Joe Gomez, AKA... the parking lot attendant.... was still on duty?

This is Manhattan, not Podunk.

Yup. There are probably several bars and restaurants in the area.

I see that the wit of my post has been missed. Partial explanation,
a) you don't raise your children in neighborhoods were there are parking lot attendants working at 10:30PM on Sunday night. You get listen to cars and people from the lot in your apt. when your children should be sleeping.
b) you don't drink around your children
c) You don't SMOKE enough to have to open your windows to be able to breath
d) If you lived in the burbs and had to open a window to breath...because you are an incompetent father...who seems to have developed the habit of drinking by himself..with his children sleeping....and fell out....it's a five foot fall to the flower bed. An ancillary benefit to living in the burbs if you can't stand on your own two ft.
SIGH
<< <i>What's wrong with "Podunk"? >>
I used to live in Podunk, though the Post Office insisted on calling it Sidney, Ohio.
The coffee shop at the Holiday Inn was the best restaurant in town, until McDonalds opened an outlet across the street.
One day the tide went out and never came back, and the town is 800 miles from the ocean!!!!
I visited Sidney once. Pleasant.
A couple of years ago. Called a company there, chatted with a nice woman who invited me to come to their archives. I was able to find my first ad in their magazine that I placed when I was in the second grade for trading 1909-s through 1913-s Lincolns(out of change and cash registers) for silver dollars. Coin World 1961. That's just about 50 years since my first ad came out.
Ads worked, btw. Morgan collection got stolen btw.
