HOUSTON - A fan who attended the Houston Texans' preseason game with the Vikings at Reliant Stadium Thursday night fell to his death from an escalator.

The Houston Chronicle reports that the man, identified as 25-year-old Jonathan Kelly, was horsing around and trying to slide down the escalator rail when he fell off. Kelly plunged three stories and landed on the concrete floor.

The Houston Medical Examiner's Office confirmed in an email Friday that it received the body. The medical examiner's website says Kelly died after being rushed to a Houston emergency room.
