Gustavo Arnal, 52, was the executive vice president and chief financial officer at the Union, NJ-based company.

Calls reporting a jumper came around 12:30 p.m. from the 60-story building's location in lower Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood at 56 Leonard Street near Church Street, according to the Daily Mail.

Messages left with Bed Bath & Bed and Arnal’s family on Saturday, Sept. 3 were not immediately returned, the New York Post said.

Shares in Bed Bath & Beyond dropped sharply last week after the company announced a restructuring plan that it said would result in the closure of "150 lower-producing stores." Bed Bath & Beyond now has about 900 stores, including those scheduled to be closed.

Arnal joined Bed Bath & Beyond as CFO in May 2020, moving from beauty conglomerate Avon, where he was the company's head of finance.
