New York police said emergency crews found the victim, identified as Paul Cooker from Connecticut, unconscious and with severe injuries consistent with a fall from an “elevated position.”

He was immediately transported to the hospital, but was later pronounced dead.

Authorities have launched an investigation to clarify the circumstances of the incident, while the possibility of a criminal act has so far been ruled out.

According to reports, the 51-year-old was at the concert with his wife to watch the performance by the rock band Goose.

In a statement, the band said it was “deeply shaken” by the tragic incident. They also announced that their Sunday concert in Central Park would go ahead and that the proceeds would be donated to a charity supporting their fans and community.

“We thought carefully about whether we should perform today and came to the conclusion that the best way forward is to stay united and support one another,” the band said in its statement.
