Tragedy
struck July 4th at the Summer Sanitarium concert at PSINet Stadium in Baltimore.
A 21 year old fan fell five stories to his death during an intermission
between sets by Kid Rock and Korn. Police have identified the victim as
Martin Muschette from Danbury, Connecticut.
Authorities
have not determined if the fall was an accident or intentional. Police
Col. Robert Novak told the Associated Press "It appears he had his legs
over the railing and either fell or lost his balance."
One
witness to the event told an A.P. reporter that he saw the man with his
leg over the railing and "Next thing, I knew he flipped and fell head first."
An
Elektra spokesperson provided antiMUSIC with the following statement made
by Summer Sanitarium headliner, Metallica:
"We
were notified after the show of the tragedy and needless to say we are
absolutely devastated. Our sincere thoughts and prayers go out to the victim's
family and friends in their time of grief."
"We
have been told that the police are still investigating the situation and
until we know all of the facts surrounding this unfortunate death, any
further comment would be purely speculative."
