Braves, MLB Sued Over Fan’s Fatal Fall At Turner Field

Greg Murrey visited Turner Field in August 2015, as the Atlanta Braves faced the New York Yankees. His seat was in the second row of Section 401; when standing, the section’s guard rail “barely reached the height of Greg’s ankles,” a lawsuit filed this week claims. Murrey, a season-ticket holder, was on his feet in the seventh inning. That’s when he tumbled forward over the railing, falling to his death. Murrey’s family on Tuesday filed suit against the Atlanta Braves and Major League Baseball, claiming that his death could have been prevented with higher guard rails.
