Staff at a Salford college said they have been left 'shocked and saddened' after a pupil died following a fall.
The 16-year-old, who hasn't been named, passed away in hospital after falling from a floor at UTC MediaCity on Monday afternoon.
A spokesman for the college said: "We are deeply shocked and saddened by the death of one of our students yesterday.
"Our thoughts and condolences are with the family at this time and we are offering support to our students."

Writing on the MEN Facebook page, one reader said: "My heart goes out to the family at such a tragic time, my son goes to the school, such a sad loss of a young life."
While another reader wrote: "Tragic accident. Thoughts are with his family at this horrific time."
"My niece goes to this school she is heartbroken, been up all night crying", said another.
Paramedics rushed to the scene at 3.30pm following reports 'a teenage male had fallen'.
