New York City police on Sunday identified a man who jumped to his death from a Manhattan high-rise apartment as Gustavo Arnal, chief financial officer of Bed Bath & Beyond. Arnal, 52, was found dead Friday. Investigators believe Arnal jumped from the balcony of his 18th-floor apartment in the 57-story Tribeca building, known as the "Jenga" tower. Bed Bath & Beyond said the company was "profoundly saddened by this shocking loss." The home-goods retailer has been struggling with severe financial problems, and said this week it would lay off about 20 percent of its corporate employees, close 150 stores, line up $500 million in financing, and cut back on in-house brands to focus on selling national brands as it fights to boost sales and avoid bankruptcy.
