Police and personnel responded to the upper deck at Gillette Stadium shortly before 11 p.m. Sunday. Dale Mooney, 53, of Newmarket, New Hampshire, “was in apparent need of medical attention,” the Norfolk County district attorney’s office said in a news release Monday.
Mooney was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the news release said.
Results of an autopsy were expected Tuesday, a spokesperson for the district attorney’s office said.
