A 49ers fan died in the heat of a 49ers-Packers San Francisco game, UPI reported Sunday.
An unidentified adult male, who came to watch the San Francisco 49ers against the Green Bay Packers game in San Francisco fell from an elevated pedestrian walkway at Candlestick Park.
Local station KTVU reported that the man fell onto a sidewalk from the Jamestown walkway that circles San Francisco's Candlestick Park.
Many reports stated that the victim, a man in his 30s, was apparently walking alongside his brother when he suddenly fell from the walkway.
San Francisco Police Spokesperson Gordon Shyy (pronounced SHY) said that many people witnessed how the 49ers fan fell from the walkway to the sidewalk shortly after the game's kickoff at 1:30 p.m.
Several witnesses claimed that the man showed signs of intoxication while he was walking with his brother and even during his fall.
Off-duty medical personnel and police officers responded quickly to treat the victim right away after his fall, but the 49ers fan had died in a matter of minutes due to the serious injuries he got from the fall despite the prompt arrival of an ambulance to carry him to the nearest hospital.
Philly.com reported that police on scene said that the 49ers fan had suffered from serious injuries and that there is still no estimation on the length of his fall from the walkway to the sidewalk.
The tragic incident was not reported earlier during the televised announcement of the Fox game coverage of the 49ers' 34-28 victory over the Packers.
Authorities are withholding the man's identity as of late until his immediate family or relatives are notified of the accident. Meanwhile no official statement from his brother was released.
UPI added that in August, a somehow similar took place at Turner Stadium when a "lifelong" Atlanta Braves fan fell 85-feet from a platform to the ground leading to his death.
The parents of the Atlanta Braves fan claimed that the death of their son was due to the stadium's "dangerous" construction and nothing more.
