"Many Photos" - Teenager has died after plunging from Whispering Gallery St Paul’s Cathedral

A teenager has died after plunging 100ft from the Whispering Gallery at St Paul's Cathedral in London.

The boy is believed to have fallen at the famous landmark yesterday afternoon at around 4pm.

He was taken to hospital by paramedics but doctors were unable to save his life.

Yesterday the Cathedral announced on Twitter that it was closing for the rest if the day. 

In 2017, figure skater Lidia Dragescu, 23, died when she fell from the Whispering Gallery inside the attraction.

London City Police confirmed they had been called to the scene just before 4pm yesterday 'to a report of a male in his late teens who had fallen from the gallery within the building.'

They said: 'The Helicopter Emergency Medical Service and police officers attended.

'His death is not being treated as suspicious.'

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson also confirmed they had been called.

The death comes just 18 months after figure skater Lidia Dragescu, 23, died when she fell from the Whispering Gallery

It said in a statement: 'We sent a number of resources to the scene including an incident response officer and London's Air Ambulance.

'Sadly, despite the efforts of medics, a person died at the scene.' 

The cathedral reopened at 10am this morning for sightseeing.

Ms Dragescu, from Romford, Essex fell to her death in front of shcoked tourists after climbing over the safety barriers on the viewing platform on October 2017.

She had two notes written in her native Romanian in her hands when she fell and had said goodbye to her mother Isabela just an hour-and-a-half before.

Mrs Dragescu, 44, said at the time that her daughter 'wanted to see how it was on the other side' and 'picked the cathedral because she needed to fly into God's arms.'
