A trip to the top of Mississippi State’s football stadium ended in tragedy after a 21-year-old student fell off the scoreboard and died.Andrew Demboski and two of his friends snuck into the university’s stadium — which was supposed to be locked — and climbed the Jumbotron early Saturday morning.
While coming back down, the MSU junior fell after losing his footing, dropping 18 feet off the 47-feet-tall Jumbotron and suffering cardiac arrest after slamming his head at about 1:30 a.m. on Saturday.
“What he was walking on was not designed to be walked on,” Oktibbeha County Coroner Michael Hunt told the Clarion-Ledger. “We’re lucky all three of them didn’t get hurt.”
First responders had to cut through a lock to get into the stadium, and then used a system of pulleys and a basket to retrieve the student’s perched body, according to reports.
