A teenager jumped to his death from the sixth floor of a well-known school in Nakhon Pathom on Wednesday night, police said.
The 10th-grader had recently posted a photo of the school on Instagram, but gave it no caption.
Pol Lt Kamolpop Harnwej, deputy inspector at Phokaew station in Samphan district, said the 16-year-old had apparently hidden in a sixth-floor classroom after the school closed at 5.30pm.
Kamolpop said the boy jumped from a window of the classroom at around 9.30.
A school janitor alerted police. Rescuers managed to resuscitate the youth, but he died soon after at Wichaivej Hospital.
