An unidentified man in his 30s fell to his death from an elevated walkway just outside Candlestick Park on Sunday during the Niners-Packers game.

According to eyewitnesses, the unidentified man "appeared intoxicated when he fell just after kickoff at about 1:30 p.m." Although medics tried to give him first aid until an ambulance arrived, he died shortly after the fall.

The 49ers issued a statement saying: "The San Francisco 49ers learned that there was a fatal accident outside of Candlestick Park prior to today'€™s game. We would like to express our deepest condolences to the family during this difficult time."

The fan's Identification is being held until his family notification. We'll update as soon as we know more.

Update: Kevin Hayes, 32, of Hayward, has been ID'd as the man who fell to his death, according to SF Examiner.
