DEMAREST -- A 65-year-old man from New York was found dead Wednesday in a closet at the Academy of the Holy Angels in Demarest, police said.
Police received a call at 11:45 a.m. of a body in a closet in an area of the school known as the "old theater," which is attached to classrooms, Demarest Police Chief James Powderley said.
Students were immediately put on a "shelter in place" that prevents anyone from leaving or entering, and parents were notified. The school held an assembly for the students who were told what happened, and counselors were available.
"We assessed very quickly that the students were not in any type of danger," Powderley said.
Police don't think the man "had passed recently" relative to the time the call came in. They had not released his name as of late Wednesday afternoon.
The man is believed to be a contractor from Cablevision, Powderley said.
Students were released for their last class of the day and were later dismissed at their normal time at about 2 p.m.
The body was transported to the Bergen County Medical Examiner's Office on Wednesday afternoon after students were dismissed.
The cause of death is under investigation. Foul play hasn't been ruled out but is not suspected at this time. The school, a private all-female college prep school overseen by the Archdiocese of Newark, will be open Thursday.
