You probably know that Reles was being held "for his own safety" in the Half Moon Hotel in Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY. Story has it that five cops were in the room with him, another five or six outside. Yet, Reles made a rope out of bedsheets, got out the window, and fell to his death.
Afterwards, they called him "the canary who could sing but couldn't fly."
I read that there was a cop stationed at his door who claimed to have fallen asleep, can you tell me where it said he had six cops in the room when he climbed out? There are so many version that have been given since he died or was killed, it gets difficult to keep track of them.
