The boy who plunged from the roof of a four-story building in Jersey City this morning has died, Jersey City officials confirmed.

The identity of the boy, who authorities say was 13 year old, is not being released at this time, Jersey City spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill said. It was initially reported that the boy was 15 years old.

The boy had just started his freshman year at Dickinson High School last week, schools officials said. He graduated from Middle School 7 in June.

Police investigating the boy's death do not suspect foul play at this time, Morrill said.

Police responded to the corner of Baldwin and Hopkins avenues at 7:50 this morning after the boy had plunged four stories. The boy was rushed to Jersey City Medical Center-Barnabas Health, where he was pronounced dead, Morrill said.

A family member declined to comment this afternoon.

Neighbors and friends say this is the second suicide in the family in two years. The boy's father killed himself in India two years ago, they said.
