A 19-year-old man jumped to his death from the Vessel, the sculpture that is the centerpiece in the Hudson Yards development, shortly before 6 p.m. on Saturday, the authorities said. The leap stunned visitors to the 150-foot-high steel structure. Some onlookers screamed as they realized what had happened, witnesses said. One person ran up to the body and covered the man’s face with a jacket, the witnesses said. The family walked up to the railing and said a prayer.
