Police and emergency services scrambled to the scene shortly before 16:00 London time on Monday.
City of London Police said his death is not being treated as suspicious.
St Paul’s Cathedral is one of the largest and tallest cathedrals in the world and has stood in London in one form or another for over two thousand years.
A spokeswoman said on Tuesday: “We were called to St Paul’s Cathedral on Monday, 1st April at 15.57 to a report of a male in his late teens who had fallen from the gallery within the building. The Helicopter Emergency Medical Service and police officers attended. His death is not being treated as suspicious.”
Just after 16:00 on Monday, the cathedral had tweeted that it would be closed for the rest of the day.
It said: “We are sorry to announce that we are closing the Cathedral for the rest of the day and Evensong will not take place this evening. More information to follow.”
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
