Man dies at Madison Square Garden Goose concert after fall from balcony

A man fell to his death during a rock concert at Madison Square Garden over the weekend, according to the New York City Police Department.

Just before 10 p.m. June 20, officers with the NYPD responded to a 911 call for an injured person at the iconic stadium in Midtown Manhattan. When they arrived, they found a 51-year-old man who was "unconscious and unresponsive," NYPD told USA TODAY in an email.

The department added that the man had suffered injuries "indicative of falling from an elevated position."

The man was attending a concert by Brooklyn-based jam band Goose, who played two shows at the Garden on June 19 and June 20.

The man, who has not been identified, was transported to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to authorities. The investigation is ongoing.
