Man found dead after game

[alnilla]

A 26-year-old Rochester-area man who went missing from Thursday night’s Buffalo Bills game was found dead near the stadium early this morning, authorities said.

The man was found face down in Smoke’s Creek near Shadow Lane.

Authorities said the man’s brother reported to law enforcement that the brother had been ejected from the game, apparently for being intoxicated, and that he couldn’t find him after the game.

Law enforcement were able to get a “ping” off the missing man’s cell phone to help locate him.

The Erie County Sheriff’s helicopter was called in at 5:25 a.m. today to assist in the search for the missing man, authorities said.

Air One’s services were called off at about 7:20 a.m.

The incident was under investigation by the Orchard Park police.

Odd. It doesn't necessarily mean foul play was involved. He could have drunk himself into a coma and died of exposure, I suppose.

He was found in a creek. First thing that came to mind was that he fell down the embankment, passed out, and froze to death. No matter the case, it's very sad and my prayers go out to the family.

What really bothers me is why the Police waited until this morning to ping his cell phone? Incompetence in my opinion.

Not necessarily. First, who knows what time the man actually reported his brother missing? He probably looked on his own for a few hours first. No one calls the police the second someone doesn't answer the first phone call. Second, the phone companies are asshats about pinging cell phones, even when the police are involved. We had a situation where my brother went missing a few years ago, and it took us hours to get the phone company to ping his cell even with the police calling them.

Definitely a high possibility.

I was going to do a over / under on the arrests but this is just a terrible situation.

We don't know completely what happened yet - however, I'd struggle feeling too sorry if he died because he was intoxicated and passed out someplace that ended up killing him.

The sad part is that no one will hear about this and say "Gee, maybe I shouldn't get tanked at a Bills game and be an asshat and get kicked out."

Re: Man found dead after game

A 26 year old guy dying isn't right in any situation, especially if he was a Bills fan.

It isn't right - but it's even wronger if it was because he was stupid and it was preventable.

Sounds like a big time Wing man fail. Got kicked out of the stadium drunk off his all and then ass by himself for a while (hours?) outside the stadium. Somebody should have went with him but they were probably drunk off their ass themselves.

either that or they didn't want to miss the game because their idiot friend couldn't hold his booze. Of course, they probably feel terrible about that choice today...

I'm pretty sure it doesn't, because if it did I could name at least 10 people on this board who would have stories about it....
