Bed Bath & Beyond’s chief financial officer dead after fall from New York’s Tribeca skyscraper
Gustavo Arnal jumped off the ‘jenga’ tower just days after the struggling retailer announced it was closing stores and laying off workers.
Police responded to a 911 call and found the 52-year-old man dead near the building on Friday afternoon.
Bed Bath & Beyond confirmed his death in a statement on Sunday and named accounting head as interim chief financial officer.
The big-box chain has seen its fortunes fall after an attempt to sell more of its own brand.
Last week, Bed Bath & Beyond said it would close 150 stores, cut jobs and overhaul its strategy to help turn around its money-losing business.
