NEW YORK (AP) -- A longtime business editor at The New York Times fell to his death from the 11th floor of the newspaper's Times Square office building Thursday in what police called a possible suicide.
Allen Myerson, whose title was assistant business editor/weekends, fell from the West 43rd Street building around 9:45 a.m., police said. His body landed on the roof of a nearby garage.
The newspaper's spokeswoman, Catherine Mathis, confirmed his death. She said Myerson, 47, had worked at the Times since 1989.
Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. sent an internal memo to employees announcing Myerson's death and saying that police were investigating the circumstances. Police Sgt. Kevin Hayes said police were treating the death as a possible suicide.
"As with any family, we're called on to endure our share of tragedies," Mathis quoted Sulzberger as saying in the memo. "This is one of those times and our support for one another will help all of us get through it."
Myerson is survived by his wife, Carol Cropper Myerson, who works at BusinessWeek. They had no children.
Myerson wrote frequently on energy-related issues. In January, he edited "The New Rules of Personal Investing," a compilation of essays offering investing tips from top business writers at the newspaper.
Myerson joined the Times after working for the Lexington Herald-Leader and The Dallas Morning News.

Q. Does anyone know for sure if the window this guy "fell" from was one that could be opened?
Q. Have you seen any financial connections between Enron and The Old Gray Streetwalker?
Anyway, it sure looks possible that this man was Fosterized.
This has Arkansas Mafia written all over it.
This is gonna be a software in-joke, but what the hey!...
Wasn't it E. W. Dijkstra who wrote the original article on
"Gotos considered harmful"
?
Uh huh....
"Uh huh" indeed. I read he had been having some sort of a psychological breakdown in front before the jump. That would seem to militate against the "Clinton Body Count" theory.
By the way, for the person who asked - many, many older office buildings have windows that can be opened.
The overwhelmingly vast majority of the time, when people kill themselves, it's really a suicide. Even when people of influence or position do it.

He could be next. Enron paid him $100,000 to work as an "advisor."
And that reporter who apparently killed himself was a liberal reporter for the Gray Old Whore, a fanatical arm of the Clinton mob-controlled DNC. I would add it to the Clinton death list.
Inane comments like this are why I put little faith in the Clinton body count. Perhaps you should loosen your tin foil hat because it is cutting off circulation to your brain.
