HARLEM, Manhattan (WABC) — A 3-year-old boy who was about to celebrate his birthday died after falling out of a fourth-floor window of a Harlem building Friday morning. It happened just before 10:30 a.m. on West 133rd Street, at the boy’s aunt’s apartment. Authorities say Daniel Galeas fell from a rear window of the building, into a stairwell that goes into the basement in the back courtyard. Galeas was rushed to NYC Health + Hospitals/Harlem, where he was pronounced dead. The NYPD is looking a piece of cardboard placed between the air conditioner and the wall, as the boy was apparently jumping on the bed when he fell.
