Chicago Man Falls To Death During Bears Football Game

While the details of the fall remain a mystery, authorities have ruled the fatal fall this weekend at Solider Field an accident.

According to the Chicago Times, 23-year-old Stuart Haverty was an ambitious, likeable young man who had just bought a house and was an apprentice to a tool maker in Woodstock, Illinois. Last weekend, he was happy to attend the Bears NFL football game with his boss, Bruce Glass, and four other employees from the company he worked for, Fox Tool and Manufacturing. But after tailgating in the parking lot and watching the first part of the game, Haverty excused himself to the bathroom and then didn’t return.

Police believe that Haverty climbed over the three-foot railing and out onto the two-foot ledge before he fell 35 feet onto the roof below. While early rumors stated that the man was trying to smoke or that he ran and jumped off the balcony, authorities have concluded that the fall was a simple, tragic accident. His family and friends agreed that he would not have purposefully jumped, while his boss and coworkers say he was drinking but did not appear to be drunk.

After emergency responders got to Haverty about 30 minutes after the fall accident, he was rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival. The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office performed an autopsy of the body on Monday and ruled the death an accident, adding that the man died from multiple injuries sustained during a fall from height.
