SAO PAULO — A Brazilian football fan has died after falling 25 metres from the top of Morumbi Stadium in Sao Paulo onto a parking lot.
The height is equivalent to an eight-story building.
Bruno Pereira da Silva, aged 23, suffered head injuries and died upon arrival at a local hospital on Sunday.
He and other fans were attempting to jump to a section of the stadium where they could get a better view of the Sao Paulo state championship match between Sao Paulo and archrival Corinthians. The game ended 1-1.
Friends of da Silva told Brazilian media Silva was attending his first football match.
