A man and a woman died after plummeting from the roof of a Queens building Sunday morning, cops said.

The 35-year-old man and 34-year-old woman were found in the courtyard behind an apartment building at 175-27 Wexford Terrace in Jamaica around 9 a.m., cops said.

It was not immediately clear if they jumped or fell from the seven-floor building. Their identities weren’t released.

Police said the two didn’t live in the building and were both from Long Island.

Building super Jimmy Walker said he discovered the bodies of the man and woman, whom he did not recognize.

“I was going down to the basement and at first I thought it was homeless sleeping,” Walker recalled.

“But when I went near, I saw the blood and everything and I jumped. I said, ‘S–t! They died!’ I got scared and called 911.”

Walker said police told him it appeared the two committed suicide, though the city Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death.

“They were lying on each other, the lady on top of the man,” said Walker. “The cops said it looked like a suicide. If there was a struggle, they wouldn’t have landed in the same place.”

The woman’s purse was found on the roof and two hair clips and a cigarette lighter were on the ground where the duo landed later Sunday.
