Just a horrible situation played out when a man was found deceased at Citi Field, home to the New York Mets in Queens, the New York Police Department (NYPD) told CNN.
The 46-year-old man was found dead after falling from the second-floor staircase. He was discovered after having “suffering from injuries consistent with a fall from an elevated position,” according to a statement by NYPD spokesperson detective Sophia Mason, CNN reported.
The man was taken in critical condition to New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Queens where he was later pronounced dead.
“We are aware of a tragic incident which sadly resulted in a fatality last night,” Harold Kaufman, a New York Mets spokesperson, told CNN. “Our deepest and heartfelt condolences go out to the attendee’s loved ones.”
It is unclear if the man’s death was accidental, police spokesman Hubert Reyes added.
Rock band Dead & Company performed at Citi Field on Friday, but it remains if the man fell during the concert.
