UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — A 16-year-old student died Thursday morning after falling from a fifth-floor window at Regis High School on East 84th Street, according to the New York City Police Department.

According to the NYPD, the teen fell at 9:29 a.m. from the Catholic Jesuit school building near Madison Avenue.

Officers found the boy outside the all boys school, and medics rushed the child to NewYork Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center, where he was initially listed in stable condition, but later succumbed to his injuries around 11:45 a.m., police said.
