The fan, who has been identified as Kavan Markwood, fell from a height of 21 feet during the seventh inning of the game between the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Steelers. What’s more is that the Markwood hit the wall before landing on the ground.
The fan was wheeled out on a stretcher, and the game was halted for some time before resuming. However, the matchup continued with an air of discomfort as everyone waited for updates on Markwood’s condition. As of now, it looks like the fan is in critical condition. Andrew McCutchen, who plays for the Pittsburgh Pirates, shared his feelings about the situation on his X account,t and Darius Slay Jr.’s wife reposted his message on her Instagram.
“Truly hate what happened tonight. Can’t help but think about that guy, his family, and friends. I pray tonight for him. Let us think about his loved ones and hug our families a little tighter tonight. I hope he pulls thru. May God Bless you all,” Andrew McCutchen wrote on his X account about Kavan Markwood’s fall during the Chicago Cubs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game.
“This is insane!!! Prayers for this fan!!!” Jennifer Slay captioned her Instagram post, sharing a picture of McCutchen’s original post.
The fall is currently being treated as accidental in nature. However, many eyewitnesses and social media users have come out to mention that there was something wrong with the entire thing. According to fans who sat close to him, Markwood was intoxicated and also shirtless when the fall happened.
Darius Slay Explains Why He Skipped White House Visit
Darius Slay was one of the missing faces at the recently concluded White House Super Bowl celebration. Among several other Eagles players, Slay, who played for Philadelphia in the last season was also missing.
“I have stuff to do, man. I have kids and stuff, man, that got to be attended to.” Darius Slay said during a Twitch livestream.
For the upcoming NFL season, Slay will play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Apart from Slay, even Jalen Hurts, the quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles did not attend the celebration. In a statement released by the White House itself, the reason given for the various players not attending was a ‘schedule of conflicts’.
