Fan Falls to Death at Texans Stadium

A 25-year-old fan died after tumbling about 60 feet from a fifth-floor escalator at Reliant Stadium during a preseason Houston Texans game, officials said Friday.

Jonathon Kelly of Houston fell to the ground floor during the Thursday night game against the Minnesota Vikings, and frantic witnesses called police to report where his body had landed, police spokesman John Cannon said.

The fall appeared to be an accident, according to police, who didn't immediately release the victim's name pending notification of his family. But the Harris County medical examiner's office released Kelly's name and hometown Friday evening.

I also heard today about something like this happening in Georgia recently as well. Stuff like this really needs to quit happening. Rest in peace.

This is the third time this has happened in Texas in the last few years I think... that would be horrible.

RIP.

That's horrific. Did the game continue? Was there a silence held for the fan?

This has happened several times in the past few years. It's a sad thing.
