Last week, New Yorker Nicholas Bartha, decided to exact revenge on his wife for the pending divorce and the planned sale of their 4 story building in an upscale Manhattan neighborhood.

Bartha was faced with significant financial loss because of the divorce and opted for the cowards way out by committing suicide, unfortunately, Bartha, like most cowards cared nothing for others and how they might be affected by his manner of suicide. As such Bartha sent a suicide message to his estranged wife then detonated the gas in the building destroying the $6 million townhouse as well as severely damaging neighboring buildings.

Bartha, who had been in a coma since the explosion, finally succumbed to his injuries and died. And now the joke’s on Bartha, according to residents and neighbors the building he owned with his wife was in a state of disrepair, now with the building gone, the land is estimated to be worth more…

Perhaps the good doctor forgot he was living in New York City and not Cleveland. Easy comeuppance, easy go.
