Man Falls Off Balcony In Manhattan Club And Dies After Being Thrown Out

A 27-year-old partygoer died early Saturday after he tumbled over the balcony of a sleek midtown club and was dumped on the sidewalk outside, police sources said.

A waitress found a bleeding and bruised Michael Lin slouched on the stairs near a second-floor entrance inside club District 36 on W. 36th St. near Fifth Ave. about 3 a.m., the sources said.

The Queens resident, who was bleeding from his mouth and missing several teeth, was then moved by staff outside the posh club, where police found him a few minutes later, sources said.

A team of EMTs rushed the injured man to Bellevue Hospital, where he died more than an hour later.

Lin’s body appeared bruised and his jaw broken, sources said.  The injuries are consistent with a fall, they added, but cops are still looking into whether any foul play was involved.

An initial review of grainy surveillance footage from the club and interviews with employees did not turn up any evidence that there had been any fights or violence, sources said.

The city’s medical examiner will determine the cause of death.

Lin, of Flushing, recently broke up with his girlfriend of two years and went to the club with a friend, his roommate said.

“He asked me to go out with him last night,” said his roommate and longtime friend, William Wong, 29. “He said he was going to the party.”

Wong declined, but Lin — who worked as a welder for his uncle — found another pal to take out on the town.

“He was just a fun guy,” Wong said.

“He’s a really nice guy. He always helps me out. …  He was a good kid.”

Clubgoer Savannah Pierce was planning to hit the Koreatown hotspot Saturday night, but the party was moved to another venue.

“I’ve never seen anyone fight here before,” she said. “Everyone is always so happy-go-lucky.”

She described the club as “a rave scene. A lot of light shows, a lot of big deejays.”

The venue is a former clothing factory, according to the club’s website, where interior photos show a flashy dance floor that’s dazzling with colorful stage light special effects.

Surrounded by cheap clothing boutiques, there’s also a ballroom dance studio above District 36.

There were no arrests as of Saturday night as police continued to investigate the incident.
