A 51-year-old man died Saturday night after falling from an elevated area while attending a concert by the rock band Goose at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) reported that the incident occurred at approximately 9:51 pm inside the precinct.

“Officers observed a 51-year-old man unconscious and unresponsive,” authorities said in a statement sent to the New York Post.

According to preliminary information, the assistant fell from an elevated position inside the stadium and was later transferred to Bellevue Hospital, where his death was confirmed.

So far, authorities have not specified from what height the fall occurred nor have they disclosed additional details about the circumstances of the event.

The band expressed its regret after learning of the incident

The Goose group reacted publicly after learning what happened during the show, corresponding to the second date of their presentation at the emblematic New York venue.

“We are deeply saddened and devastated to learn of the tragic event that occurred during tonight's show,” the group said in a statement.
