A Temple University student died from his injuries after falling from a light pole as Philadelphia Eagles fans celebrated the team’s Super Bowl berth over the weekend, a source confirmed with NBC10.
The school announced that first-year student Tyler Sabapathy had died on Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025, after suffering “critical injuries” over the weekend.
Sabapathy was a native of Toronto, Canada, and a student at Temple’s College of Public Health, where he was majoring in exercise and sports science, the school said. Sabapathy was also a gymnast who won more than 120 medals in various regional and international competitions.

Very sad... Only a freshman and a champion gymnast. The poles were greased to prevent this type of behavior.

Actually the poles were not greased this time. The new Mayor said she had confidence in Philadelphians to behave properly.

He wasn’t exercising much “Public Health” in that bone-headed move.

The good news is that he got an A in Physics for his research study on gravity.

No event in gymnastics for grease pole climbing. Kid was probably under the influence of some drug or drugs.
Too stupid to handle himself. Sad. But true.

Your are correct FRiend. I stand corrected. I guess the city will get sued for NOT greasing the poles.
