The police wanted to talk to him after the death of his daughter, but he died in the death

The police had been looking for Mohammed Reza Torabi since Wednesday when his 13-month-old daughter passed away and her twin brother was found with deep bruises and broken bones, signs of abuse during their short life in Queens.

The manhunt ended abruptly on Saturday, when police found Mr. Torabi, 31, on a hotel landing in Midtown Manhattan. Investigators believe that he jumped from the roof of the hotel located in 57th Street East and that he fell 14 hours before his death, police said.

A hotel employee saw Mr. Torabi's body from a window on the 17th floor at the top of the Renaissance New York 57 at about 1:15 pm on Saturday, the police said. The body was flared on a landing on the third floor, out of public view. Police said he had been dead for at least 24 hours.

He left no note, according to the police. And the city's medical examiner has not officially determined how he died Sunday, a spokeswoman said.

His death deepened the mystery of what happened inside the red-brick family home located at Ashby Avenue in Auburndale, where authorities said that a toxic wedding, poisoned by drugs and the violence, had been announced before the mother of the child, Tina Torabi, summoned the police around 22 hours. Wednesday.

The little girl, Elaina, has died at Flushing Hospital and Ms. Torabi has been charged with the murder of her twin brother, Kian, who is being treated for rib fractures, bruised lungs, fractured pelvis, spiral tibia fracture and adrenal hemorrhage. . The mother could face murder charges after the medical examiner determined how Elaina died.

Kian remained in critical condition Sunday in the pediatric intensive care unit of Cohen Children's Medical Center. Three older siblings, all under the age of 6, were taken away by social workers.

Although Mr. Torabi separated from his wife, the investigators did not exclude him as a suspect of the abuse of the children. He had a history of domestic violence against Ms. Torabi, including bites, and investigators found traces of bites on Kian who were at various stages of healing, according to the Queens District Attorney's Office and the Texas Court Records. . Neighbors also said they saw a man at home a few hours before the police arrived.

The couple was married in Houston in 2012, but three years later, Ms. Torabi got a protection order against her husband after he confessed to having strangled her, according to court records. .

They did not know when they had moved to New York, but social workers began visiting the home in Queens last year after doctors discovered opioids in the newborn's blood, the police. The administration for children's services, the city's municipal child protection agency, is currently studying whether social workers have misunderstood the warning signs.

Ms. Torabi, 30, who was fired as a pharmacy technician from 2008 to 2014, faces charges of assault, reckless endangerment and endangering the well-being of a child during Kian's attack. She is held without bail in a women's prison on Rikers Island until her next court appearance on October 26th.
