A viral tweet has brought new attention to an unfortunate tragedy that happened at David Harbour’s Manhattan apartment in 2015. Here’s what we know about the circumstances around the woman who jumped from the actor’s home.
On the 15th of September, 2015, a 29-year-old woman jumped from David Harbour’s apartment and died on impact. The woman, later identified as Christin Croft, had been staying at the actor’s home while he was in Canada promoting a new film. A suicide note was found at the scene.
At the time of her death, the New York Daily approached David Harbour for comment.
“She was in the shelter system. I was trying to help her out,” he said.
David described Christin as a “lovely person” and expressed his feelings over her passing.
He added: “I’m very confused, I don’t understand how this happened. She seemed to be a lovely person. It’s a terrible tragedy. I’m very shaken by this.”
Police reported that Christin had a history of mental health struggles. To this day, how David and Christin met is still not public knowledge. Information about her personal life before the incident have been kept private by her family.
David Harbour has since spoken a lot about his own mental health struggles, specifically his battle with bipolar disorder.

“I have definitely been in and out of the system. And there were times in my life where very easily I could have ended up on the streets, but I luckily had a family who could support me through those lean and very trying times,” he told The Independent.
“I have been struggling with the medical model of mental illness for a long time. I started to really get into talk therapy around the particular trauma, and I find that narrative and stories, dealing intellectually and emotionally with personal trauma, has been far more liberating to me than hospitals and drugs.”
