A man fell to his death during Saturday night’s Goose concert at Madison Square Garden, according to the NYPD and reports about the incident.
The 51-year-old concertgoer fell from high-section seating in the arena, according to concertgoers on social media and in reports.
Police officers, responding to a 911 call, found the man “unconscious and unresponsive” inside the arena shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday night, the NYPD said in a statement. He had “injuries indicative of falling from an elevated position” and was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the statement continued.
