Eagles Fan Dies After Taking Tumble During Celebration

 

An 18-year-old Eagles fan's night ended early after he climbed a pole and then fell from that pole to the ground. An earlier report suggested that the fan had suffered severe head trauma and was on life support.

 

What many feared has now become a reality. According to Fox News, the teen, named Tyler Sabapathy has passed away. Sabapathy was a freshman at Temple University, who released a statement following his tragic passing.

 

"It is with deep sadness that we write to share news of the death of first-year student Tyler Sabapathy. Over the weekend, Tyler sustained critical injuries and ultimately passed away this afternoon," The school wrote.

 

"The loss of a promising 18-year-old man like Tyler is both tragic and traumatic. There are no words that can make sense of it, and the entire Temple community mourns his passing. Our hearts go out to Tyler's family, friends, classmates and all who knew and loved him."

 

Jason Kelce Gets Honest About His Weight Loss

 

After a legendary NFL career, Eagles' center Jason Kelce announced his retirement back in March. Kelce has had one of the most decorated careers in NFL history. His resume reads six-time First-Team All-Pro selection, seven-time Pro Bowl selection, and a Super Bowl Champion. 

 

Most athletes see retirement as a return to the real world. Having the freedom to spend time with family, vacation, and of course, eat whatever they want. However, Kelce has taken a different approach. In a 2024 interview with GQ the All-Pro center revealed he has shredded a significant amount of weight since retiring.

 

"Right now, I'm about 277. I'm almost 20 pounds down right now. It's hard to imagine another nearly 20 pounds coming off, being honest with you. But my back already feels better," he said. "My knees already feel better. So another 20 pounds hopefully will make that much more adept at playing with my children."
