A man died after falling about 65 feet from an upper level onto a parking lot at Turner Field in Atlanta, authorities said.

He was identified on Tuesday morning as 29-year-old Ronald Homer of Conyers, Ga., the Fulton County Medical Examiner told NBC News.

The incident occurred at 8:55 p.m. ET during a game between the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies, according to Atlanta Police spokesman John Chafee.

“It appears that the male fell from an upper-level platform to a secured lot below,” Chafee said.

The man was transported to Atlanta Medical Center where he later died from his injuries.

“At this time, there is no indication of foul play and the fall appears accidental,” Chafee added.

The Braves issued a statement confirming the fall, and that the man had been transported to a hospital. The team referred all other inquiries to the Atlanta police.

Rain had delayed the game by about two hours.

Monday night’s fatal fall appears to be the second at Turner Field since it became the home of the Braves in 1997.

A 25-year-old Georgia man fell down a stairwell during a game at Turner Field in 2008, and later died in what police determined to be an alcohol-related incident, according to the Associated Press.
