NEW YORK (AP)  A 51-year-old Connecticut man fell to his death from an upper deck of Madison Square Garden during a concert on Saturday night, police said. 
Officers responding to a 911 call around 9:51 p.m. found the man unconscious and unresponsive with injuries indicating a fall from an “elevated position,” New York City police said. 
Police did not say how far the man fell, but said he was in Section 300. 
They identified him as Paul Kueker of Niantic, Connecticut. 
The man was with his wife, according to police. 
He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. 
Police do not suspect foul play. 
The rock band Goose was performing. 
In a statement, the band said it was “reeling” from the tragedy. 
Goose played a concert Sunday evening in Central Park and said all proceeds from the show would go toward a charitable fund providing support and resources for their fans.
