Fan Dies After Falling From SkyDome Ramp

A man died Tuesday after falling about seven stories from a winding pedestrian ramp at the SkyDome during the seventh inning of the Toronto Blue Jays’ game Monday night with the Boston Red Sox.

Kenneth Piery, 39, of Kincardine, Ontario, fell to the stadium’s ground floor from its top level, Toronto police said. Piery was taken to a hospital where he later died of head and neck injuries.

“The victim decided to jump from ramp to ramp. He jumped on top of the ramp and lost his balance and down he went,” Detective Al Brown said.
