44yrs old Queens man, falls to his death from fourth-story window 'after he was caught molesting 6year old boy in New York (Details, pics)

A 44-year-old Queens man plummeted to his death from his fourth-floor apartment after he was allegedly caught groping a six-year-old boy Thursday morning.

Police in New York City say Edgar Collaguazo was killed while trying to flee after the alleged victim’s parents called 911 at around midnight Thursday and locked him inside his room.

When officers responded to the scene at 35-15 9th Street in the Jackson Heights section of Queens, they found the suspected child molester lying unconscious and unresponsive outside the building.

Collaguazo was transported to Elmhurst Hospital, where he was pronounced dead from his injuries. The 44-year-old had been renting out a room in his apartment to a family. On Wednesday, Collaguazo's tenants hosted a birthday party for their son, who was turning six, and invited several children over, reported the New York Daily News.

While the adults were celebrating, Collaguazo reportedly invited the birthday boy, his 5-year-old female cousin and another boy to watch a movie in his room.

At around midnight, the girl's mother went to check on the kids and allegedly busted Collaguazo with his hand down the six-year-old’s pants as he was sitting on the man's lap.

The girl who was present later claimed that Collaguazo also had kissed her on the mouth and told her to keep it a secret, according to the New York Post.

The male victim’s relatives began beating up Collaguazo, and then confined him to his room to await the arrival of police officers who were summoned by the boy’s mother.

Collaguazo, who was reportedly drunk, tried to escape through the window, but instead landed belly first onto a metal fence outside the apartment building before hitting the ground.

Security footage caught the sickening moment the man's body struck, then bounced off of, the metal gate, landing onto the pavement like a rag doll.

A witness likened the sound Collaguazo’s body made on impact to a pumpkin falling off a roof.

Collaguazo was married but estranged from his wife, and had a criminal history, which included five prior arrests on unspecified charges.
