A man aged 51 tragically fell to his death at Madison Square Garden during a concert on Saturday night. Identified as a beloved married father of two from Connecticut, Paul Kueker plunged 150 feet from the Chase Bridge during the Goose concert around 10 pm. His mother, Patricia Finelli, expressed deep sorrow, describing him as a caring individual who looked after her like a treasure.
Accompanied by his wife, Kueker attended the concert that ended in tragedy, leading to his transport to Bellevue Hospital where he was later declared deceased by authorities. The incident occurred during Goose’s performance on the second night at MSG as part of their summer tour. The band expressed profound sadness and offered condolences to those impacted by the unfortunate event.
