I was out of the country and just going through the 2017 list and came across this:
Quote:
Jean Stein, an author who wrote best-selling oral histories, died in New York City on April 30. She was 83. Jean died in a fall from her 15th floor apartment at 10 Gracie Square, on the East Side of Manhattan.
I don't know her, but seems an unusual way for an 83 year old to die.
