CHICAGO -- Authorities have identified a man who fell to his death from a ledge at Soldier Field during the Chicago Bears game on Sunday afternoon.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office says 23-year-old
Stewart Haverty of suburban Woodstock was pronounced dead at
Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
Chicago police say Haverty fell around 4:55 p.m. Sunday during
the NFL matchup between the Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Chicago Fire Chief Joe Roccasalva says he landed on a small
rooftop on the outside the stadium. Witnesses told authorities the
man ran to a ledge and jumped.
It's the second death in a week at a major sporting arena. On
Nov. 21, a 2-year-old boy fell from a luxury box at the Staples
Center during a Los Angeles Lakers game.
