USA: Millionaire Discovered Dead In Exclusive Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Viagra And Xanax Found Next To Him

Jay Greenwald was found face down and fully clothed in his bed by his housekeeper in his 32nd-floor condo at the Mandarin Hotel.

A 51-year-old man was found dead inside the bedroom of his multimillion-dollar Manhattan condo next to several pill bottles Saturday, police sources said.

Jay Greenwald was discovered by his housekeeper face-down on his bed just after 3 p.m. inside his pricey pad at the exclusive Mandarin Oriental on Columbus Circle.“I’m really still in shock,” said the housekeeper, who asked not to be identified. “He’s a really special person.”

Lauren Levy, who was also in the room, tearfully told cops she and Greenwald had been doing blow the night before, sources said.

The grief-stricken woman told cops she’d met Greenwald only a few weeks before, according to police sources.

Bottles of Viagra and Xanax were also recovered from the room, source said.

An unidentified woman had been present inside Greenwald’s home when the housekeeper made the discovery, but she thought the Greenwald was simply asleep, police sources said.

The 51-year-old tech investor was found dead in the bedroom of his multimillion-dollar Columbus Circle condo beside empty pill bottles and a weeping 33-year-old woman who said they’d been doing cocaine, police sources said Sunday.

Jay Greenwald was found facedown and fully clothed in his bed by his housekeeper in his 32nd-floor condo at the Mandarin Hotel just after 3 p.m. Saturday, sources said.

The city medical examiner said the cause of death had yet to be determined.

Greenwald’s friends and former business partners were shocked by his death.

Greenwald purchased the two-bedroom unit in 2010 for $6.25 million.

“You couldn’t manage the types of things he was managing — the diverse range of projects he had going on — if you were messed up on drugs. I don’t see how that could happen,” said Gary Salmirs, who called Greenwald his best friend and mentor.

“It just blew me away.”

Greenwald made a fortune in the 1990s by running a large 1-900 psychic hotline company, Quintel Entertainment, according to his partner on the venture, Jeffrey Schwartz, 67.

“He was a natural decision-maker and analyst,” Schwartz said.

“I could labor over spreadsheets for hours and he would get through them in 30 seconds.”

After selling Quintel in 1999, Greenwald and Schwartz started a successful Internet marketing company, Traffix. Greenwald then started a lucrative email marketing company, Datran, according to Schwartz.

“He was a very talented guy — he didn’t fail. He won at just about everything he tried, except this,” Schwartz said.

In recent years, Greenwald withdrew from the day-to-day operations of tech companies and instead invested in start-ups and mentored young entrepreneurs in online marketing, Salmirs, 51, said.

“He was so far ahead of the curve. He taught me the ins and outs of entrepreneurship, how to build a business,” Salmirs said.

“He really knew how to read between the lines of things and how to really understand business and make good decisions — always ethically.”

Matt Keiser, the CEO of email advertising company LiveIntent, said he’d learned loads from Greenwald.

“He was a fabulous entrepreneur. One of the best,” Keiser said.

He called the circumstances of Greenwald’s death “a very surprising outcome, given he was a very responsible guy. That’s shocking news.”

Police sources said criminality is not suspected. The ME’s office will determine the cause of death.
