An absolutely senseless act of violence has resulted in the death of a New England Patriots fan.
53 year old Dale Mooney was punched twice by a rival fan at Gillette Stadium, and later died from his injuries.
A witness named Joey Kilmartin described the incident:
“He [Mooney] went over to Section 311, and he basically engaged in mutual combat with another fan," Kilmartin 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. It wasn't something crazy or out of the ordinary until, 30 seconds later, the guy wasn't getting up."
According to stadium officials, the deceased was a 30 year season ticket holder and lifelong fan.
"We continue to work with local authorities to assist them with their ongoing investigation," the statement indicated. "We extend our sincerest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to Dale's family and to all those who are mourning his loss."
