Police: Fan may have been sliding down handrail before fatal fall

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3407384 ATLANTA -- A 25-year-old man died from injuries sustained after falling about 150 feet down a stairwell at Turner Field during Wednesday night's game between the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets. The senior investigator with the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office, Mark Guilbeau, said Thursday that the man who fell was Justin Hayes of Cumming, Ga. Guilbeau said an autopsy will be done to determine the cause of death. Atlanta Police Department spokesman Ronald Campbell said Hayes was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital with serious head injuries. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Hayes was pronounced dead at the hospital. Braves spokesman Brad Hainje said Hayes apparently fell from the club level to the landing on the stairwell on the field level during the eighth inning. Campbell said Hayes may have been sliding down the hand rails when he fell and that alcohol may have been involved. ESPN.com 5/22/08
