A woman attending a Kenny Chesney concert at a stadium in Denver fell to her death on Saturday night after falling off from an escalator railing.
The accident occurred at around 10:52 p.m. at Empower Field at Mile High, home of the Denver Broncos, after the concert. The concertgoer, who has yet to be identified, fell to the concourse below. The distance of the drop remains unknown.
Denver Police reported the incident as an 'accidental death,' denying suggestions that the woman was pushed or shoved before the fall.
'To my understanding, there was none of that, it was just an accidental fall, I don't think anyone pushed her or anything like that,' police spokesman, Nate Magee, told The Denver Post.
It remains unclear if she was intoxicated while perching onto the escalator railing or if she died at the stadium or if she was even taken to hospital.
