"The fan, wearing a blue Rangers cap and white Rangers shirt, was seated in the front row and, according to others seated near him, was yelling at Rangers left fielder Josh Hamilton for a foul ball that was hit by Conor Jackson and landed on the field. Hamilton flipped the ball toward the fan and the fan leaned over, caught it and toppled over in the gap between the railing and the back of the scoreboard on the left-field fence."

Here's the announcers reaction:

Local news reported that he was concious when he left the stadium, but had a heart attack on the way. He died from complications due to the heart attack.

Yes, 1 year and 1 day ago, that guy survived though

I refuse to watch this video, but last year you saw the ump and batter react in horror and such.

Super depressing and I hope Hamilton gets a few days off to gather himself

There are tons of even higher places people can fall from at baseball games, and most sporting events. We can't have nets to catch them all.

I found the video kind of disturbing actually because there was sort of a lack of a reaction. The crowd was shocked, but it took the announcers a while to figure out what happened, and they sort of just joked about it like the guy wasn't hurt.

Because he wasn't really hurt (At least not fatally; not like they had instant updates on his status the second he fell). The fall didn't kill him, and judging from the CoD, it had little to do with his death at all.

A's reliever Brad Ziegler told reporters that he and several teammates in the bullpen, which is located near the scoreboard where the fan fell, heard the fan talking about his son as he was being carried out on the stretcher.

The topic was pretty much already derailed when you made it because the title was misleading.

Its already been proven false he had a heart attack. He fell from extending to catch a ball, and died from the fall later on. Its no more "misleading" than any of the headlines on any website you go to

its not really nitpicking when its pointing out the two cases here may not even have much correlation.

but you presented it in the topic title as fan died in the stadium after jumping over a guardrail to catch, then in the OP you showed us....oh its not quite what you said in the topic title. Then upon further inspection, oh there's a lot that doesn't add up with the topic title.
