SAN DIEGO — A member of the San Diego Chargers’ game-day staff has died after falling out of the press box before the Denver Broncos played the San Diego Chargers on Monday night.
Walt Daniels, 66, died at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday at Sharp Memorial Hospital, the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office said.
Daniels appeared to sustain a head injury after falling about 25 to 30 feet out of a booth that was to be used by Broncos assistant coaches, and landing on the loge level.
He was administered CPR before being taken to the hospital.
Workers later cleaned up a puddle of blood.
The accident happened about three hours before kickoff and delayed the opening of the gates by about 40 minutes.
