On Wednesday , police released a report after an investigation into his death , The Record reported . The fifth-grader had been playing chess with another student during a morning recess period when he became upset that his opponent did n't say 'checkmate ' , according to the report . An aide overheard him saying to the other student : 'Do you want me to do something drastic ? ' Tragic : A 10-year-old boy jumped to his death from a window at Grant Elementary School in New Jersey last month after becoming upset following a losing chess match , according to a new police report . She told police that as the students were about to leave the room for lunch , she saw him crying in a corner and writing a note , which he passed to his opponent but told him not to open it until later . She confiscated the note and when she turned around to look at the boy , she saw him climbing through a window before jumping through the second-story window , the report said . He had managed to lift himself onto shelves and had crawled along the top towards the window , which was open about a foot , according to witness statements . He went through the window 'headfirst , unforced , unassisted and of his own accord ' and suffered 'serious facial injuries ' , the report said . Witnesses said the boy seemed to be conscious and moving after hitting the ground but he died in the hospital several hours later , The Record previously reported . The contents of the note he passed to his classmate have not been disclosed . After the tragedy , the classmate said the boy had made references to jumping out the window on four previous occasions - but he did n't tell anyone because he did n't think the boy was serious . After losing another chess match in December , the boy got angry and said , ' I 'm this close to jumping out the window ! ' while holding his thumb and index finger about an inch apart , the classmate said . Upset : The boy had previously told his chess opponent on four separate occasions that he would jump out the window , but the classmate told police he thought the boy was just messing around ( stock photo ) In the days before he jumped , the boy had also told the lunch aide that no one was letting him play chess with them , so she told the other students to include him . A classmate reported seeing the student often eating lunch on his own . The report concluded that no criminal charges will be brought in the incident . The school has not spoken out about any potential changes to its policies and an attorney for the school declined to comment on Wednesday . But several Dumont High School students said that their school has imposed a new policy that prohibits windows from being opened more than 6 inches , The Record reported . Some of the windows have been fitted with screws that stop them from opening up all the way , the students added . • For confidential help , call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or click here . • For confidential support on suicide matters in the UK , call the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90 , visit a local Samaritans branch or click here .
