Tom Brady comeback theories swirl for the New England Patriots An NFL fan who attended the New England Patriots game on Sunday died after a fight with rival supporters, it has been claimed. Following the incident, Dale Mooney, 53, was taken to hospital from the Gillette Stadium where he passed away. The father of two was from Newmarket, New Hampshire, and had held a Patriots season ticket for the last three decades. Reports claimed the spectator, who was sitting in the 300-level section of the stadium, required medical attention during the closing stages of the game. But according to news outlet WCVB, an eye-witness named Joseph Kilmartin claimed Mooney, who was supporting the Patriots, was assaulted by a fan of the Miami Dolphins, who the former Super Bowl winners played this past weekend. “They started tussling around for a few minutes,’ he said. “At one point another Dolphins fan walked over. He punched him three times, and the man just went out. It was pretty hard to watch. It is sad and unfortunate.’ A New England Patriots fan was reportedly beaten to death at Sunday’s Miami Dolphins game An investigation has been launched into the incident by the District Attorney’s office a spokesperson confirmed, which is part of “normal protocol.” A second anonymous witness told Boston 10: “One word I can really use is shocking. My thoughts go out to that man’s family. It’s awful what happened.” As it stands nobody has been charged for the incident. Mooney’s wife Lisa has been left devasted by the tragedy and she told WCVB: ‘I just feel numb I can’t even believe this is for real. “I don’t understand why people have to go to that extreme. Why can’t it just be fun, that’s all it’s supposed to be, just a fun family event. I don’t know what happened… it takes a lot to get him mad.” SUBSCRIBE Invalid email We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
