14-year-old girl plunges to death from elite NYC private school building, police say

A 14-year-old girl has plunged to her death from an elite New York City private school building, according to the cops.

Authorities rushed to The Chapin School on the Upper East Side of Manhattan at around 5:30 p.m. ET Wednesday to find the girl “with injuries indicative of falling from an elevated position,” The New York City Police Department told The Independent.

First responders took the girl to a nearby hospital in critical condition but she later died from her injuries. It’s unclear whether the incident was an accident.

Her exact cause of death is yet to be determined. The Independent has reached out to New York City’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for comment.

No arrests have been made in the investigation into the girl’s death as of late Thursday afternoon.

Police say the girl’s identity is being withheld until the family is notified of her death.

The Chapin School is a K-12 all girls school established in 1901. There are more than 800 students currently enrolled. This year’s tuition cost more than $68,000.

Students from Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens attend The Chapin School. The school also has students from New York’s Long Island and Westchester County as well as Connecticut and New Jersey.

Wednesday’s incident comes just weeks after a 16-year-old boy plunged to his death from a Catholic all-boys school on the Upper East Side, according to police.

A representative from Regis High School called the incident an “unimaginable tragedy.”

“It is with heavy hearts that we write that one of our students tragically lost his life," the representative told PEOPLE.
