A tragic event occurred this Saturday after a fan lost his life after falling from one of the stands of the Monumental Stadium in Argentina, something that caused the suspension of the game that was in the 26th minute, between River Plate and Defensa y Justicia, corresponding to day 19 of the Professional League Tournament of Argentine soccer.
As indicated by River Plate through a statement, the person in question “jumped into the void” and immediately lost his life. Likewise, he insisted that there was no intervention by another person in this tragic event.
“The Football Safety Committee and Club Atlético River Plate regret to report that, in this afternoon’s match against Defense and Justice, a supporter jumped into the void from the Sívori Alta stand and died on the spot. The medical service immediately arrived at the area where the incident occurred, as did the police and the different security agencies”, explained the group ‘Millionaire’.
In addition to clarifying that “there was no intervention by third parties” in the fall of the person in question, the River Plate team pointed out that “there was no situation of violence in the stands or around him (by the deceased follower).”
In this sense, the red and white team reported that the fan “had his season ticket holder” in that area of the Monumental Stadium, which for this commitment was at “90% of its capacity.”
The Núñez entity also explained that the Specialized Fiscal Unit for Massive Events, as well as security agencies, “are acting and carrying out the pertinent investigations.”
As a paramedic explained to local media, the fan suffered “a very serious head injury” when he fell from the upper tray of the Sívori tribune, located at the back of the River Plate stadium.
“He died on the spot. He suffered severe trauma when he fell 15 meters. He fell or threw himself, there was no push, ”said Alberto Crescenti, head of SAME (Emergency Medical Care System) to DSports Radio.
For its part, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) published a message on its social networks to express its “condolences to family and loved ones” of the deceased supporter “and to the entire River Plate world”, while “deeply regretting the death” of this follower
