Student dies after falling from fourth story of Southern California high school building

A student at a Los Angeles high school died Wednesday after falling from a fourth-story building, police said.

The boy’s fatal fall was reported at around 1 p.m. at Benjamin Franklin High School, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

LAPD did not release the student’s name or age, identifying him only as a boy.

The circumstances surrounding the fall remain under investigation, but police said there is no evidence of foul play, according to NBC.

KTLA’s helicopter was over the scene around 3 p.m.; video showed a shoe on the ground beneath a taped-off area. A canopy was later put up.

The campus will remain on lockdown until law enforcement gives the all clear.
