UPDATE: 10/26/14 12:15 p.m. — East Baton Rouge Parish coroner Dr. Beau Clark confirmed the identity of the fan who died at Saturday’s LSU-Ole Miss game to be 59-year-old Brian Tingley.
Clark said Tingley’s manner of death was natural and the preliminary cause of death is related to cardiovascular disease. He said Tingley complained of chest pains before the incident.

A spectator died at Saturday’s LSU-Ole Miss game, LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette and East Baton Rouge Parish coroner Dr. Beau Clark confirmed late Saturday.
Bonnette said the fan, an adult male, died of an apparent heart attack and the incident had nothing to do with Tiger fans rushing the field after LSU’s 10-7 victory. The fan was seated in the lower bowl of the south end zone.
Clark said the death appeared “natural” and there were no signs of trauma. Like Bonnette, he added the fans rushing the field did not contribute to the death.
