A 21-year-old Mississippi State student died during an apparent accidental fall from the football stadium scoreboard early Saturday morning.
The university confirmed Andrew Scott Demboski of Ocean Springs, a junior environmental economics and management major, died. Oktibbeha County Coroner Michael Hunt said Demboski fell 18 feet after walking on a metal awning on top of the scoreboard. Two other male students were with Demboski when emergency crews were called at 1:30 a.m.
"What he was walking on was not designed to be walked on," Hunt said. "We're lucky all three of them didn't get hurt."
Hunt said Demboski suffered cardiac arrest after hitting his head during the fall. A high-angle rescue team was dispatched to rescue Demboski while paramedics worked on his body for an hour to regain a pulse.
