The Atlanta Braves broke the news of their two players’ deaths with sadness and tears in their eyes.

The fan who fell to his death from an upper deck at Turner Field during an Atlanta Braves game against the New York Yankees has been identified by Georgia authorities.

According to Mary Beth Hauptle, an investigator with the Fulton County Medical Examiner, Gregory K. Murrey, 60, of Alpharetta, Georgia, passed away after falling into a lower-level stand during the seventh inning of Saturday’s game.

Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez was brought in as a pinch bat just after the fall. Medical staff treated the individual for approximately ten minutes, including CPR, before placing him on a backboard without causing any delays to the game. A short while later, Murrey was declared deceased at Grady Memorial Hospital.

According to Hampton, the police don’t now suspect foul play. In the lower-level seats where the man fell, he said, no fans were injured.

The man landed near a 200-level section where players’ spouses and families are seated after falling from section 401. The pavement surrounding the benches was stained with blood.

The man was given CPR by stadium medical staff for around ten minutes, during which time the game continued without interruption. Security guards cleared the area as they worked in a circle around the man. The fan was moved to the hospital on a backboard after being removed from the seating area.

Yankees shortstop As he watched the man collapse, Didi Gregorius was standing on second base after his double.

Gregorius stated, “I was thinking about it the whole time,” following the Yankees’ 3-1 victory. “I can only offer the family my sympathies. It was directly in front of the press box camera. He struck the electrical cables.”

The fall happened right after pinch-hitter Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees entered the game in the seventh inning.

According to Major League Baseball, it was under contract with the Braves and was keeping an eye on the matter.

Sellout throng
Turner Field saw its biggest audience of the season, 49,243, in attendance on a sellout. In 2017, the Braves are scheduled to relocate to a new suburban ballpark.

Adam Staudacher was walking back toward the spot where the fan had fallen with his girlfriend.

According to Virginia Highlands, Georgia resident Staudacher, 33, the fan looked to have landed headfirst on a boardwalk that was three feet wide between portions. Twenty or so EMTs, he said, encircled the fan right away and started performing CPR. He added that they treated him for “five to seven minutes” before removing him.

Staudacher reported that he did not see any fan movement.

“There were a ton of kids right there,” stated the man. It was an unsettling sight. It’s not quite disturbing enough.

Staudacher claimed that after checking on supporters in the eighth inning, Braves executives gave them seats in suites, far from the scene of the fanfall.

The team released a statement saying, “The Atlanta Braves offer their deepest condolences to the family.”

The MLB announced this season that it is looking at fan safety after multiple people were injured by flying bats and foul balls. Players have demanded that the field be covered in more protective netting.
