PITTSBURGH – A spectator at Sunday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets died after falling from an escalator at Accrisure Stadium.
The Pittsburgh Department of Public Safety said police and emergency services personnel were alerted after a male spectator fell about 4:45 p.m., shortly after the end of New York’s 24-20 win over the Steelers.
Paramedics treated the victim on site before taking him to hospital in critical condition. He died shortly thereafter. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office identified him Monday as Dalton Ryan Kane, 27, of Monaca.
“We are aware of the unfortunate incident that occurred today at Acrisure Stadium,” the Steelers said in a statement. “We are working with local authorities to assist them in their investigation of this matter. We send our thoughts and prayers to the guest’s family.”
