Evidence of an epic, cocaine-fueled party straight out “The Wolf of Wall Street” has been discovered inside the million-dollar apartment of an investment banker who plunged to his death, law enforcement sources said Friday.
Thomas Hughes, 29, is believed to have jumped from the 24th floor of the Ocean Luxury Residences at 1 West St. around 10:40 a.m. Officers recovered one ziplock bag filled with cocaine, four bags containing cocaine residue and a rolled-up dollar bill — which also contained cocaine residue, according to sources.
Cops also found a pair of Chase Visa credit cards and one Chase Sapphire debit card, sources said.
At the time of his death, the Westchester man was working at Moelis & Company, which is a global investment bank on Park Avenue, according to LinkedIn.
As a teenager, Hughes attended Canterbury School — a ritzy boarding school in New Milford, Conn., that charges more than $50,000 a year in tuition. After graduation, he went to college at Northwestern University, where he studied economics and business institutions.
In 2009, Hughes received his degree and scored a job as an analyst at UBS, which is a Swiss international banking company. He worked at the company until 2011.
Hughes’ next job was at Citi Investment Banking, where he spent more than three years before eventually moving to Moelis & Company.
A spokesman for the firm gave her condolences Friday.
“We are saddened by the news of Tom’s death and send our sincere condolences to his family and friends at this very sad time,” she said. “Tom was a talented and valued team member and a positive force in our firm. He will be greatly missed.”
Even though authorities have notified the family, relatives have been unable to officially identify the body due to the severity of injuries, sources said.
Police will be forced to use fingerprints to prove the deceased is indeed Hughes after witnesses reported seeing his body “explode.”
“I saw him falling,” recalled Mansour, a hot dog cart operator who watched the scene unfold near the northbound Battery Park Underpass.
“I didn’t know what it was at first but then he just exploded,” he said. “There was blood everywhere. He landed on the fence and it cut him in half. His head went down into the tunnel entrance and his body landed on the upper level.”
