Horror as mother jumps to her death from eight-floor apartment in upscale Harlem co-op with baby son in her arms - but the child survives

A distraught mother strapped her baby boy to her chest and plunged eight stories out of an apartment window to her death in an apparent suicide on Wednesday - but the child miraculously survived. Cynthia Wachenheim, 45, was found on the Harlem street with her son, Keston, in her arms. A police officer who responded took the boy, believed to be 10 months old, to hospital where he is said to be in stable condition. Wachenheim - who was also known as Cindy - was clutching her son to her chest when her back hit the pavement. On impact, the baby bounced out of her motionless arms and started wailing.
