A preliminary autopsy has ruled out blunt force trauma as a cause of death for the Patriots fan who died at Gillette Stadium on Sunday.
The fan, who has not been identified, was found unresponsive in a bathroom at the stadium during the Patriots’ game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The cause of death is still pending further investigation, but the preliminary autopsy results have ruled out blunt force trauma. This means that the fan was not likely killed by a fall or a blow to the head.
The Patriots have expressed their condolences to the fan’s family and friends. The team has also said that it is cooperating with the investigation into the fan’s death.
The fan’s death is a tragedy. It is a reminder that even something as seemingly innocuous as attending a football game can be dangerous. It is important to be aware of the risks and to take precautions to stay safe.
“We are heartbroken to learn of the tragic passing of Dale Mooney, a lifelong Patriots fans and 30-year season ticket member, who died while attending last Sunday night’s Patriots game,” Gillette Stadium officials said in a statement. https://t.co/jaMt0VKxxO
