Officers responding to a 911 call around 9:51 p.m. found the man
unconscious and unresponsive with injuries indicating a fall
from an “elevated position,” New York City police said. Police
did not say how far the man fell, but said he was in Section
300. They identified him as Paul Kueker of Niantic, Connecticut.
The man was with his wife, according to police. He was taken to
a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police do not suspect
foul play.
The rock band Goose was performing. In a statement, the band
said it was “reeling” from the tragedy.
Goose played a concert Sunday evening in Central Park and said
all proceeds from the show would go toward a charitable fund
providing support and resources for their fans.
“We considered whether or not we were going to play and came to
the decision that the best thing we can do right now is bring
our community together, lean on one another, and offer a space
for healing,” the Sunday statement said. “So let’s be kind to
each other tonight and remember our friend.”
