Man Dies At Patriots Game After ‘Apparent Medical Event’
As we reported, Mooney was involved in the scuffle at some point during the Sept. 16 contest … and he collapsed and later died. Officials did say, however, that they believe a medical issue — not a traumatic injury — led to the death.
A medical examiner’s investigation into the final cause and manner of death remains ongoing.
Mooney — described as a Patriots super fan — was 53 years old.
