A man who died at a New England Patriots home game last weekend was punched at least twice in the head during a fight in the stands with a rival fan, a witness said Tuesday.
Police and safety personnel responded to the upper deck at Gillette Stadium shortly before 11 p.m. Sunday and found Dale Mooney, 53, of Newmarket, New Hampshire, "in apparent need of medical attention," the Norfolk County district attorney's office said in a statement Monday.
"He basically engaged in mutual combat with another fan," Kilmatin told The Boston Globe. "A lot of people started trying to pull them apart. ... It looked like somebody was in the middle of them, and then a man in the Dolphins jersey reached over and he connected with two punches to the victim's head.
The results of an autopsy were expected this week, a spokesperson for the district attorney's office said."I just can't even believe this is for real," she told WCVB-TV. "I want to know what happened. What caused this?"
