contest between the Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings reportedly fell to
his death at Reliant Stadium.
According to multiple reports, a 45-year-old fan, whose identity has not been
revealed, fell from an escalator on the northeast side of the stadium due to
horseplay.
CBS Houston reported the man was allegedly trying to slide down the outside
handrail when he fell three stories onto the pavement. He was rushed to
Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital and was reportedly pronounced dead on
arrival.
