Father Of 2 Gets Punched In The Face And Dies While Attending Dolphins And Patriots Game

A football fan has died after suffering a "medical event" at a Patriots-Dolphins game at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Dale Mooney, a father of two and 30-year season ticket holder, died on September 18 after another fan allegedly punched him in the face.

Fan Joey Kilmartin told MassLive, "The Dolphins fan walks over and clearly punches him in the face. [He] gets knocked out and you can tell right away he’s not OK."

He added that this wasn't the only fight that Dale got into during the game, and that during the fourth quarter he fought a few other fans. Joey added, "It’s an unfortunate situation. I feel bad for the family."

Video shows Dale approaching fans. Joey shared, "He basically grabbed another fan. They started tussling around for a few minutes. At one point, another fan walked over. He punched him … and the man just went out. It was pretty hard to watch."

Dale's wife Lisa is left aghast and confused. She asked, "I want to know what happened. What caused this? I just don’t understand why people have to go to that extreme. Why can’t it just be fun? That’s all it’s supposed to be — a fun family event."
