NEW YORK CITY (WPIX)— Police have confirmed the identity of a man who fell to his death during a concert at Madison Square Garden.
The NYPD confirmed that 51-year-old Paul Kueker, of Connecticut, died after falling from an upper-level balcony inside MSG during the Goose concert Saturday night.
The man fell from an upper-level balcony inside the arena while rock band “Goose” was performing at around 10 p.m., police confirmed. He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The NYPD did not release additional details on what may have led up to the fall. Police did say that there was no criminality suspected in the early stages of the investigation.
Kueker was at the concert with his wife, officials said.
“We are deeply saddened and heartbroken to learn of the tragic event that occurred at tonight’s show. We extend our deepest sympathy to everyone affected,” Goose posted on Instagram. “Thank you to the emergency personnel and venue staff who stepped in with care and support.”
“While we await the police report on the tragedy at last night’s Goose concert, we are deeply saddened by the loss of a fan’s life at Madison Square Garden. Our hearts go out to the family and friends of the concertgoer,” an MSG Entertainment spokesperson told Nexstar’s PIX11.
