    A woman fell to her death from a luxury Manhattan high-rise in Midtown on Sunday morning, police said.

    A 911 caller reported the fall at about 11:30 a.m., and cops found the woman lying on the ground outside Cannon Point South at 45 Sutton Place, a co-op right along the East River.

    The woman showed injuries “indicating a fall from an elevated position,” cops said.

    EMS workers declared her dead at the scene, and authorities are still investigating her death. It wasn’t immediately clear if she had jumped, officials said.

    Her name is being withheld pending family notification, cops added.

    The woman is just one of several New Yorkers to fall to deaths in the city over the last few weeks.

    An 80-year-old woman leaped to her death from an Upper East Side apartment building on Oct. 12 — and was decapitated on the way down when her body hit the side of the building during the fall, cops and witnesses said.

    “The head and the arm were clean cut off on the other side, they ended up on the terrace,” a resident of the building told The Post.

    The same day, a 52-year-old man jumped from the 17th floor balcony of a 22-story building in Chelsea in an apparent suicide that left his grief-stricken wife in tears on the sidewalk.

    And last week, a man was hurt when he careened off the second floor of Trump Tower in Midtown just after NYPD cops asked him to leave the building.

    The man — who had been acting erratically — chose to hop over the railing and fell into the lobby a story below.

    He suffered unspecified injuries as a result of the fall, and was later intubated at the hospital.

    if you worship money, you'll never find true happiness! Especially in NYC, it seems like most people are wired this way but find out too late.
