Country music star Kenny Chesney hosted a large concert in Denver, Colorado over the weekend and the night ended tragically when a woman accidentally fell to her death.
The concert on July 30 was held at Empower Field at Mile High, the city’s stadium. It is reported that the incident occurred shortly after the concert ended around 10:52pm. Then the Denver Police Department tweeted that they are “conducting an outside death investigation at 1701 Bryant Street.”
The police followed up by the following statement “An adult female guest at Empower Field at Mile High was sitting on an escalator railing, fell to the concourse below, and died as a result of the injuries. This is being investigated as an accidental death.”
Today Chesney opened up, “I was devastated to learn of the loss of someone after our show. There had been so much joy, so much heart coming from the people of Denver last night — and to hear this is heartbreaking,” he said. “Life is precious. Sharing music brings us together and that love we share makes us so much more. For the lady who came to share that love, there are no words. For her friends and family’s loss, I grieve with them and for them.”
The Denver Police Department released information on the woman who fell off the escalator. She has been identified as 48 year old Jimi Goodman. Her death has been ruled as an accident by multiple blunt force injuries.
