During Sunday’s game between the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium, a fan passed away from a medical condition.
The event happened at approximately 11 p.m., according to the Massachusetts State Police, and the 53-year-old fan, Dale Mooney, was declared dead after being taken to a nearby hospital.
District Attorney Michael Morrissey of Norfolk County stated in a statement issued on Wednesday that Mooney’s death was caused by a “medical issue” according to a preliminary autopsy.
“Our investigation has included numerous law enforcement interviews and the examination of multiple angles of video capturing the scuffle prior to Mr. Dale Mooney’s collapse,” Morrissey stated. “The preliminary autopsy results revealed a medical problem but did not point to a severe injury. The cause and manner of death are yet unknown as additional testing is conducted.”
