In New York City, a newlywed groom threw himself into the Harlem River over the weekend — only hours after exchanging marriage vows with his longtime love.

28 year old Fernando Brazier took the fatal leap after leaving a suicide note for his bride, Trudy Hay, at the front desk of the Radisson Hotel in New Rochelle, where the couple had just celebrated their wedding.

The note said “he couldn’t take it anymore, and to take care of the kids,” Brazier’s sister told The Post.  “He left his ring in the envelope.”

The Medical Examiner’s Office is awaiting toxicology reports to determine the cause of death, but an official said they don't suspect foul play.

Relatives say Brazier and Hay had dated since they were teenagers and doted on their two young daughters, ages 5 and 2 1/2.

Brazier's sister says he had been depressed for several months, and he and Hays had been going to a counselor.  “He would tell me that Trudy is a good person, but he didn’t want to marry her;  he was feeling like he was pressured,” his sister said.
