The chief financial officer of troubled Bed Bath & Beyond has been identified as the man who jumped to his death from the iconic new Tribeca skyscraper known as the “Jenga Building,” The Post has learned.

Gustavo Arnal, 52, who was also an executive vice president for the struggling home goods retailer, plunged from the 18th floor of 56 Leonard Street on Friday, police sources said.

The 60-story building is best known for its purposely misaligned apartments stacked atop each other, resembling the popular game “Jenga.”

Messages left with Bed Bath & Bed and Arnal’s family Saturday were not immediately returned.

Yes, tragic. It seems the Bedding and Bathroom biz is more brutal than anyone imagined.

Bed Bath & Beyond is at risk of filing for bankruptcy. How did it get here?

The retailer has lost sales and market share all while experiencing mounting losses. And without a leader at the helm, it faces an inflection point.

Jeez, it is hard to believe all was lost for him with a long career even before BB&B, at only age 52.

He was the Chief Financial Officer of the company - like most in these positions these past two years the pressure is horrendous. Retail and restaurants are continuing to take a hit.........BTW Hospitals as well.

The moniker “Bloodbath and Beyond” used to apply to its stock performance...

It’s a very sad situation that this guy felt there was no solution except suicide.

How ironic that he looks like a young Ronald Reagan, a president who was all in favor of free wheeling, American Style Capitalism.
