Video shows how Pirates fan fell 21 feet leading to tragic accident
A recent video has been released showing the sequence of events leading up to the tragic fall of Pirates fan Kavan Markwood at Pittsburgh's PNC Park during a game last week. The footage indicates that Markwood stood up excitedly, causing his legs to hit the railing in right field, leading to him falling 21 feet onto the field. The incident occurred when Markwood was celebrating an RBI double by the Pirates' Andrew McCutchen during the game against the Cubs on April 30. The Pittsburgh Public Safety considers the fall to be accidental. Markwood, who recently took his first steps, still has a challenging recovery ahead after breaking his neck, clavicle, and back. Despite the situation, those who know him praise Markwood for his resilience, strength, and kindness. The Pirates have provided an update on the investigation into the incident, stating that Markwood did not show signs of intoxication, although receipts indicate he had two beers during the game. The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police is currently looking into the circumstances surrounding the fall.
