Noah Legaspi, 17, who leapt to his death from NYC hotel after being dumped by girlfriend is pictured beaming with his prom date three months before his suicide

A teen who jumped to his death from a swanky New York hotel after being dumped beamed with pride as he attended his prom three months before his death.

Noah Legaspi, 17, jumped off the roof of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Thursday night after hailing a cab from his ex-girlfriend’s home in New Jersey.

The avid volleyball player’s family says he was “unable to take control” of his thoughts and feelings after breaking up with the partner, whom he started dating in early 2022.

Photos obtained by DailyMail.com show the aspiring fashion designer beaming with his unknown prom date just three months before his suicide.

It’s unclear if it was his girlfriend, though the pair attended Colonia High School’s prom together in May.

His family said that Legaspi had been in a relationship with his ex-girlfriend since spring 2022, and they had recently broken up

His family told the New York Post that Legaspi had been dating his ex-girlfriend since the spring of 2022, and they had recently broken up.

Photos from the evening show Legaspi smiling as he wrapped his arms around his date’s waist, as his family dubbed her his “mysterious girl.”

The junior would begin his senior year in September before plunging 800 feet to his death.

Legaspi had been at his ex-girlfriend’s house before calling a cab to the Mandarin Hotel in Columbus Circle.

Once he arrived, the teen, who was struggling with his mental health, facetimed his ex before jumping.

His brother, Luis Legaspi, told the newspaper New York Post“She got an eerie FaceTime call from him from the top of the hotel and looked over at her and they had a FaceTime call and he said ‘look at this beautiful view’ and ‘I love you.’

“They broke it off and he was just never good at handling his emotions, so after the breakup I think he just wasn’t able to control his thoughts and feelings.

Legaspi’s ex was shocked by the call and contacted his mother. He told her the call came from a tall building, but she wasn’t sure where.

Authorities have not yet confirmed whether Legaspi planned his death, why he chose the hotel and whether the teenager has been there before

His mother has revealed his last words to her: “I love you” and “I’ll see you tomorrow,” telling the Post that she will always remember his smile.

Judith Legaspi, 52, said: ‘He came to my room because all my kids do before I go to bed.

“He comes by my room and says, ‘Hey mom, how was work today?’ I said, ‘I’m fine. I’m just resting’.

“Okay, goodnight, rest. I’ll see you tomorrow and I love you.” He gave me a kiss and a hug. And that was the last thing he said.

“There’s no evidence or anything like that, so I can’t really say anything about it.

“We can’t really see: why he did what he did. Maybe in my dreams he says, ‘Mommy, I’m sorry I did it, but it’s not your fault. It’s nobody’s fault.”

His family immediately launched a search for him, posting on social media that his last location was “somewhere with a lot of light.”

They confirmed he turned off his phone after talking to his ex-girlfriend, though it’s unclear why he traveled the 36 miles to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

His ex-girlfriend found out that Legaspi had died after a tribute was posted to him at a volleyball camp they both attended.

Legaspi’s older siblings went to her house to reassure her that his death was not her fault.

His brother Luis said she could always contact them, adding: ‘I don’t want her to get the impression that we’re upset and that we’re blaming her.

“Both me and my sister comforted her and said it wasn’t anyone’s fault. Do not feel guilty.

“That’s how we are and that’s how Noah is. He always tried to make someone’s day before he made his own, which is exactly the kind of character he has, because he cares about people and is thoughtful.’

The NYPD identified Legaspi, who had no ID on him at the time of his death, and contacted his family.

Investigators believe he entered the Deutsche Bank Center via a service elevator and exited on the 21st floor of the hotel tower, the NYPD said.

“Video shows him walking into the hotel, then taking the elevator up, going to the roof and jumping off the roof,” NYPD spokesman Lieutenant Thomas Antonetti said.

His brother added that he had “a lot of demons and insecurities” and did not seek therapy or medication for his mental health issues – which eventually “took over and won.”

After police confirmed his death, Legaspi’s family released a statement saying: ‘The Legaspi family would like to express their gratitude for the significant amount of time and effort put into the search for Noah.

“We were impressed with the amount of support we received, and we are very grateful to everyone who contributed in any way.”

They had previously set up a Facebook page to search for the missing teen, which they turned into a memorial one after his death was confirmed.

a GoFundMe was started for Legaspi’s family, which has received more than 400 donations to date, raising $121,027 of the $20,000 goal as of Wednesday night.

It read, “We had the pleasure of meeting and growing up with our favorite man, Noah. Noah was always someone who made everyone laugh and put a smile on their face.

“We have started a GoFundMe page to help the Legaspi family arrange services to honor and celebrate Noah. All donations are welcome. Even a little bit goes a long way.’

“Thank you all for your support, kind words and prayers during these difficult times.”
