The Weeknd kicked off his highly anticipated After Hours Til Dawn Tour in Philadelphia on Thursday, July 14 at Lincoln Financial Field. Although the concert was enjoyed by many fans, it was an unfortunate accident that ended one fan's life when he fell to his death at the show.
According to a local CBS affiliate in Philly, it was just before 11:00 PM when 32-year-old Hugo Sanchez, who was at The Weeknd’s concert, was sitting on an escalator rail at Lincoln Financial Field and lost his balance.
Sanchez fell approximately 40 feet before he was rushed to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arriving.
Local police called the incident “an unfortunate accident” and assured the public there was no indication of any foul play.
No one knows why the man was sitting on the rails and Hugo's family declined to make a statement.
