Police are following the standardized death investigation protocols. At this time the 17 year old's death appears to be a suicide. Per a press release, the student was at school the day of the incident, but left school grounds alone prior to taking his own life. There also was no indication of any danger to other students or staff members and it appears there were no weapons brought to the school. Windsor Police are not releasing the child's name due to age and in respect for his family. The cause of death will be determined by the Weld County Coroners Office. The case is considered to be active until all information has been collected and evaluated and finalized.

On a personal note, I myself have had to bear the heartache of dealing with a recent suicide in my family. It is heartbreaking to endure.
