Jonathon Kelly of Houston fell to the ground floor during the Thursday night game against the Minnesota Vikings, and frantic witnesses called police to report where his body had landed, police spokesman John Cannon said. The fall appeared to be an accident, according to police, who didnt immediately release the victims name pending notification of his family. But the Harris County medical examiners office released Kellys name and hometown Friday evening. Kelly was travelling down from the fifth floor when he fell to the ground, said Mark Miller, the general manager of SMG-Reliant Park.

The bank of escalators in the northeast corner of the stadium where the fall occurred was closed for inspections, and Reliant Park officials are reassessing safety procedures, he said. But Texans president Jamey Rootes indicated that security and safety changes were unlikely because of the fatal fall.
