Man falls to death - A 20 years old medical student fell to his death during a Halloween concert organized by a local radio station on Friday.

Officials say the incident occurred during Live 105's Halloween Spookfest in the Oracle Arena, Oakland.

According to the Alameda County Coroner's Office, Zachary Bradley, plunged from a 20-feet high platform behind the stage to his death. Reports indicate that the place from which the man fell to death at the concert was restricted to the public.

It is unclear how Bradley got access to the backstage area. Investigators, who are looking into the case already, are also yet to establish the exact time the man falls to death at the concert. Although the deceased's body was found close to midnight, his friends reportedly told the police that the last time they had any contact with him was at 7:30 p.m.

The mother of the man who fell to his death, Cristal Rodriguez, has disclosed that the police informed her Bradley was drunk and was attempting to scale down an elevated backstage area when he fell and died.

Rodriguez, who admitted that her son lacks "street sense," also revealed that she does not blame anyone for his death. "I know he made a poor decision," she said.

Nonetheless, some commentators have noted that it should be visible to all if a man falls to death at a concert.

Meanwhile, the deceased's grandfather, Tom Bradley, has revealed that his late grandson was a highly intelligent and ambitious young man.

The Phoeniz, AZ, man who fell to his death in California, is reported to have been a student of the University of California, Berkeley.

He was part of the Theta Delta Chi fraternity. The group, which has reportedly been involved in his funerary preparations, is expected to release a statement on the death of Bradley.

The 'man falls to death at concert' accident has been widely discussed online. One of the late Bradley's schoolmates at Berkeley noted that he will be missed.
