The 86-year-old man, who'd lost a daughter to suicide, left a check for another daughter from the recent sale of a home, they said.

He then went out onto the deck and over the side of his 12th floor condo in the rear of Winston Towers 200 off Palisade Avenue just after 5 p.m. Friday, they said.

Borough police were joined by the Bergen County Sheriff's Bureau of Criminal Identification, which collected evidence, and the Bergen County Medical Examiner's Office.
