Man dies after fall at Coors Field

DENVER (AP) -- A 27-year-old man who fell about 20 feet and struck his head on concrete during the seventh inning of a Colorado Rockies game has been declared dead, authorities said Thursday.

Witnesses told police that the man had been trying to slide down a staircase railing at Coors Field and lost his balance during Tuesday afternoon's game between the Rockies and the Arizona Diamondbacks, Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said.

The Denver coroner's office identified the man Thursday as Robert Seamans of Pueblo, Colo. The father of Seamans' girlfriend, Larry Elliott, told The Denver Post that Seamans was declared brain dead on Wednesday, about 12 hours after the incident. A transplant team was called in to harvest his organs, Elliott said.

"You definitely don't want somebody's experience at the ballpark to be something like that," Rockies first baseman Jason Giambi said before heading to batting practice before Thursday's game against Arizona. "It's supposed to be uplifting and an enjoyment for the fans. That's a terrible thing to hear."
