   died-in-manhattan-manhole/   
      
   State officials are investigating how an apparently drunken man fell to   
   his death through an open Columbus Circle manhole and managed to go   
   undiscovered for two weeks.   
      
   The manhole cover at West 58th Street and Eighth Avenue was open again   
   Wednesday, as Verizon workers returned to the scene to try to blow out the   
   stench from the badly decomposed corpse, discovered Tuesday partially   
   eaten by rats, authorities said.   
      
   Enlarge ImageA large hose pumped air into the opening, but the smell of   
   decay continued to hang over the neighborhood.   
      
   Inside the hole there’s a 20-foot drop, one worker said, but a maze of   
   wires from various utility and telecommunications companies snakes across   
   the opening closer to the top.   
      
   Sources told The Post the body was found somewhere among those wires.   
      
   The state Public Service Commission on Wednesday said it will launch an   
   investigation “to determine whether there were any regulatory violations.”   
      
   “If there were violations, the company could face financial penalties,”   
   PSC spokesman James Denn said.   
      
   Surveillance video from a nearby building shows the ­unidentified man   
   stumbling through barriers and into the open hole at around 2:30 a.m. on   
   Sept. 30, police sources said.   
      
   Hours later, Verizon workers are seen returning to place the metal cover —   
   which can weigh up to 300 pounds — back on the hole, not realizing the man   
   was inside.   
      
   Police said the man might have been homeless, and possibly between 30 and   
   40 years old. He wore shorts and a T-shirt.   
      
   It is unknown if he was killed in the initial fall or if he died a   
   horrific, slow death after tumbling into the hole.   
      
   The city medical examiner is due to release autopsy results that could   
   determine the cause of the man’s death — and possibly his identity.   
      
   A Verizon worker said Wednesday that the utility would remain at the scene   
   around the clock until the city’s Department of Environmental Protection   
   shows up to make sure the cleanup is complete.   
      
   “Until the higher-ups give the go-ahead, we can’t shut it down,” the   
   worker said. “We have to be here, and that’s all they’ve told us right   
   now. Really, we are waiting on the [DEP].”   
      
   Verizon did not respond to ­repeated calls and e-mails seeking comment.   
      
   The DEP also did not respond to requests for comment.   
      
   But the grisly episode remained the talk of the neighborhood on Wednesday.   
      
   “It’s alarming, to say the least,” said Jersey City visitor Tiffany Adams.   
   “I’ve never heard of anything like this before.”   
   “Poor dude,” added Brooklynite Jeff Sykes, who works nearby. “It’s so sad.   
   Don’t fall in a manhole. People aren’t aware of their surroundings with   
   their headphones and their rectangular devices they’re walking around   
   with.”   
      
   Some even came up with conspiracy theories about the man’s horrifice   
   demise.   
      
   “Maybe he saw something or somebody doing something and that person did   
   away with him,” said construction worker Javier Cruz. “I just don’t   
   understand, with so many cameras, why they don’t know more.”
