NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Police say a 15-year-old boy was found dead at the bottom of a chimney at a junior high school in Brooklyn.

Police say the teen was found unconscious and unresponsive at Roy H. Mann Intermediate School just before 11 p.m. Tuesday. He was pronounced dead by EMS shortly after.

1010 WINS’ Carol D’Auria reports: Tragedy In Brooklyn


The 15-year-old was among several teens who police say climbed onto the roof of the school. Officials say the boy somehow fell down the chimney.

The roof of the school has been under construction for the past year.

A medical examiner will determine an exact cause of death. The investigation is still ongoing.

“We weren’t even aware that students could get over the fence because it’s a high fence, you know a high fence and there’s netting there. It seems to be very secure,” said a teacher who only identified herself as “Bridget.” She told 1010 WINS she knew the boy and described him as “quiet and well-liked.”

    Maybe if his mom beat his ass without the police interfering he would still be alive. I had to be in at eight o’lock every night untill I was seventeen and if I came in a minute later I would get my ass whipped and I was seventeen at the time. If his mom put a hand on him she would be arrested for who-knows-what on a minor and would have an arrest record, but, if she did give him a good beating he would still be alive to tell about how strict his mom is and tell his friends that his mom does not let him do the same things that other”teenagers” do.

    I guess these child protection laws are very helpfull, instead of getting a beating they are allowed to kill themselves….god idea!!!!

    First of all, no one deserves to die & second, maybe you think before posting a comment that not only lacks intelligence, but common sense. This was an accident. You dont blame the parents for anything, they are mourning the loss of a child, something I hope you never have to experience.

  • Felicia Tricarico

    Okay first of all steal from a school? Really, are you kidding? You dont know the kid or his story. I knew this kid personally, hes an amazing kid. Stop assuming and get your heads out of your ass. & his friends did call the cops, how do you think he was found? You don’t know the impact this has on his friends and his family. We are all heart broken. And its sad that you guys are sitting here wishing bad things to him and his friends. You guys are a sad excuse for life, you try losing a 15 year old who loved life and everyone in it, who lived everyday like he wanted to. He shouldnt of died. Stop thinking you know everything just by these news reports. Rip Nick, we miss you and love you<3

    “We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It’s one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it’s another to think that yours is the only path.”

    He probably went there…to smoke!

    • Smokers Know

      Smoke? Really? It’s illegal to sell cigarettes to a 15 yr old and smoking is not allowed on school property.

      • Michael H.

        Not that kind of smoke…

      • KrissKross

        And kids ALWAYS do what’s the law or what their told, huh? Crawl out from under your rock & join the human race you idiot!!

  • Sean Patriot

    “somehow fell down the chimney”

    YEAH, SOMEHOW TRYING TO STEAL FROM THE SCHOOL. HE DESERVED IT. I WISH IT WOULD HAPPEN TO ALL OF THEM. DARWINISM IN ACTION.

    • Doug

      That’s quite some insight you are revealing there Sean.

    • Joe Barry

      Really? A curious 15 year old into mischief deserves to die? You wish them ALL dead?? Were you perfect at 15? Never tempted a little danger? I’m a conservative now too, but we all had our days. Maybe you forget what it’s like to be 15. What about the kid who smashes mail boxes with a bat while driving by? He also deserves to fall from his car and die? NO 15 year old kid deserves to die just because he made a mistake (stealing from the school or not) while having some “fun” with his friends. No, he wasn’t in the right. He WAS breaking the law. He does not deserve to die you idiot.

        A real tragedy occurs when death occurs to others because kids are entitled to have some ‘fun’. Like the elderly who die from heat exposure when their AC is stolen for a few dollars of copper. Or the motorist killed going through an intersection unaware cross traffic doesn’t know the stop sign has been stolen.

    Quiet, well liked and pretty GD stupid, typical public school educated product.

      I could not have said it better. Sad for his family though – mothers love even their dumbest ones.

  • Jimbo Limbo

    A FENCE too high? What kind of view of reality comes up with THAT idea? As a child, a friend of mine climbed a light pole at the high school track, and re-oriented the lights. The pole was about 200ft high. Some kids are like monkeys when it comes to climbing.

    • Joe Barry

      How high is our southern boarder fence? I think some Mexican drug lords are like monkeys too.

    Meanwhile, his mamma is watching TV, eating cheetos, and wondering if she’ll see ‘her man’ this week.
    The first comment was right, here come the lawyers. It’s YOUR fault, Brooklyn, that this kid fell into a chimney, so you get to pay his family for their negligence, raising a snot nosed kid who doesn’t respect any boundaries (like fences). On some planets, they believe in evolution, and would seek out anyone related to this kid and sterilize them. He was probably seeking a way in to commit crime. God knows, and so does little whats his name, may he find peace. Don’t pity fools, it only encourages foolishness.

      but i do pity you for your ignorance
