Sad!! Toddler dies after falling 50 feet at Lakers game 11/21/2010 (Staples Center)

This is the spot where the baby fell... WHOA!!!


The parents of a 2-year-old who died after plunging 50 feet from a Staples Center luxury suite had lost sight of their son and were searching for him when they learned he had fallen, said sources familiar with the investigation.

The boy, Lucas Anthony Tang, had been crawling around the suite during the Lakers' game against the Golden State Warriors, sources said. At some point, his parents noticed he was missing and began to look for him.

They did not know then that their son, who would have turned 3 in January, had fallen. Witnesses at the game told The Times that the boy was moving his arms, legs and head before paramedics took him out on a stretcher.

A spokesman for AEG, the company that manages Staples Center, said he had no comment at this time.

The death is being investigated by the LAPD's abused-child unit, a standard practice that officials said does not necessarily mean a crime has been committed.

  1. I'm surprised that this got out Sheeda... There was another death at the staple center and they shut it down with the quickness.. A guy was pushed by his buddy (while intoxicated) off of one of the escalators while he laid on it and he tilted over from the top.. This is so sad :(

  2. I'm surprised it got out too, but the thing is I didn't even know about it my friend told me about it. The parents were taking group photos and the baby scooted off... my question is wouldn't you want your baby in the pic? this is very sad.
