Minutes after an impressive Los Angeles Lakers victory over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night (11/21/2010), a 2-year old boy falls 50 feet from a suite box at the Staples Center.
Michael Roth, a spokesman for the Staples Center, issues in a
statement Monday morning that the Tang family were taking a picture with their toddler after the game in their suite box. In general, the barriers that surround a general suite box vary, but the lowest point stops at an average adult's waist. After the picture was taken, Mr. and Mrs. Tang were shuffling through their digital photographs before losing sight of their 2-year old son. Paramedics rushed the boy to the hospital, but after hitting his head on a row of seats after falling 50 feet, the boy died quickly after.
It's unclear as to who owned that specific luxury box and what Staples Center or the Lakers organization will do in memorial of the young boy. But what is certain is that an accident like that has never occurred. It's interesting to see what Staples Center will do to prevent a freak accident like that from occurring again.
