“A short time after the 911 call came in, the body of Yamamoto was discovered by a responding Cheshire police officer, in the area of a bridge which sits on Marion Road.
The state medical examiner has not yet determined a cause and manner of death for Yamamoto.
Friends and students remember Yamamoto as a positive presence in school and in their lives.
Students told Fox61 Thursday’s classes could only be described as grim. Passing between classes, students say it was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.
Grievance counselors and therapy dogs will be available for students and staff for the next several days as they deal with their loss.
