A fan has died after falling during the game between the Atlanta Braves and the New York Yankees last night.
The fan was on the top deck of the stadium when they fell over the rail and on to the tier below. They were initially rushed to hospital and reported to be in a grave condition, but later passed away.

It had been reported from the stadium that the fan was standing at the railing and leaning over to shout at a Yankees player, which lead to the fall.
The game continued, although that section of the stadium was emptied and sectioned off by police tape, but as Uproxx report, this is not the first time that something like this has happened at Turner Field.
In August of 2013, a fan named Ronald Homer also fell and died as a result of his injuries at the stadium.
