Atlanta (AP) — Authorities have identified a fan who died after falling more than 60 feet from an upper-level platform at Atlanta's Turner Field as a 29-year-old man.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office early Tuesday identified the man as Ronald Homer of Conyers and said an autopsy is planned for Tuesday.

Homer fell during Monday night's game between the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies. Atlanta police spokesman John Chafee says there's no indication of foul play, and the fall appears to have been an accident.
