Coroner: Boy Died From Multiple Injuries In Staples Center Fall
LOS ANGELES (AP) — An autopsy conducted on a 2-year-old boy who fell from a skybox at Staples Center died of multiple traumatic injuries.
Los Angeles County coroner's Capt. John Kades (KAY'-deez) released the official cause of death on Tuesday.
Police and paramedics have said Lucas Anthony Tang suffered massive head injuries in the Sunday night fall from a third-level luxury box. He landed on a row of seats minutes after the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors. He died at a hospital.
Police have released few details of the incident, saying only that Tang's family was taking photographs and somehow the toddler went over the edge of the section.
