A woman and her 2-year-old son died Saturday afternoon after falling from the stands at Petco Park before the Padres game, investigators said.
The 40-year-old woman and her toddler were at a dining and concession area on the concourse level of the San Diego, California, stadium when, for an unknown reason, they fell three floors down and hit the sidewalk, the Padres said in a statement Sunday.
First responders rushed to the stadium but weren't able to save the mother and son, according to the team.
Investigators said the victims’ deaths "appeared to be suspicious."
Although the victims have been identified, the authorities and baseball team have not released their names to the public, and have only said the deceased were San Diego residents.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of life at Petco Park last evening. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of those involved," the Padres said in a statement.

A mother and child abortion ?
Not wearing seat belts and car seat?
Who else was there?
Wouldn’t there be a lot of witnesses during a game?

I heard on the radio the child’s father was there.

20 years ago PETCO was dangerous on game nights and Padres fans were among the worst drunken rowdies I’ve ever seen at a baseball game.
I used to love going to the ballpark to watch a game. When ever I traveled to a city with a MLB franchise I always tried to take in a game...I don’t even watch on TV anymore.

I do believe someone would be so evil as to push someone over.
Lots of people out there want to kill just to see what it feels like.
With the culture of death surrounding us it’ll take effect.
One of the reason some people think the Texas Rangers replaced their stadium was because over the 30 year life of the old ballpark several fans had fallen to their death. There was a sense the place might not be safe.
No kidding…I was thinking the same thing reading these comments.
That is not funny. Two people are dead. It may have been an accident.
I heard/read that the husband was in the stadium, but not at the scene of the incident.
Thank you, poster #11. Freepers have in part, become a cynical group.

Petco Park isn't even 20 years old.
The rest of your claim is ludicrous.
Have you never been to LA or Philly?
No cameras to monitor the food concourse?
