According to a story, Dale Cheney, a banker from Connecticut who died last week after leaping to his death from a Manhattan rooftop bar, was under investigation.
Cheney, 46, who divorced his wife only days before jumping from Bar 54 at the Hyatt Centric Times Square, was charged with two misdemeanours on Jan. 16 following an altercation at the couple’s large New Canaan home, according to the Wilton Bulletin.
After the incident, in which the financier was charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief and disorderly conduct, his wife, Lauren Cheney, reportedly got a restraining order against her husband.
Following a court appearance in Stamford, the investment banker was granted freedom on a $25,000 bond.
Two days prior to his passing in Midtown, Cheney, a father of five young adults in their teens and early 20s, filed for divorce on January 23.
Around 6:30 p.m., according to the police, he fell from the rooftop bar at West 45th Street and Seventh Avenue in what was later determined to be a suicide.
Police were called to Cheney’s former Upper East Side residence twice in 2008 for domestic confrontations, according to law enforcement sources quoted in The Post.
According to available documents, Cheney created T-street Capital, an independent growth equity firm, in Darien, Connecticut, in 2013.
His enormous six-bedroom, seven-bath New Canaan home at the time of his death was worth more than $3.8 million, according to documents.
Last week, a woman who answered the door at the residence chose not to comment.
As one of five siblings, Cheney grew up in northern Virginia and New Jersey, according to his obituary. His future wife, Lauren Colton, whom he married in 2000, was a student at Brigham Young University in Utah.
According to his obituary, he later received an MBA from Harvard University Business School.
