ATLANTA (AP) - A 20-year-old Lenoir City man died from his injuries after falling approximately 45 feet from the upper level of the Georgia Dome at Friday night's Tennessee-North Carolina State game.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office said the man, Isaac Grubb, died from blunt force trauma to the head minutes before midnight.

The Georgia World Congress Center Authority said in a statement Saturday afternoon that Grubb fell on another fan seated in the mezzanine area at about 8:30 p.m.

The fan who was hit while seated sustained minor injuries and was taken to the Atlanta Medical Center.  He is a 34-year-old unidentified man from Fort Mill, South Carolina and was released from the hospital. 

Authority spokeswoman Jennifer LeMaster said late Friday that the injured fans were transported almost immediately to the hospital.
