ATLANTA -- Investigators say a 20-year-old Tennessee man had been drinking before he died in a fall at the Georgia Dome.

Police Lt. Chad Hurston said Saturday that authorities need to review results from the medical examiner's office to determine how much of a role alcohol played in the accident.

Isaac Grubb fell about 45 feet inside the Dome while celebrating a Tennessee touchdown against North Carolina State during a Friday night game. He struck and injured a 34-year-old man from Fort Mill, S.C., who suffered minor injuries.

Hurston said that Grubb had started drinking around 5 p.m. before he entered the Georgia Dome. He said witness reports do not indicate that Grubb bought alcohol inside the stadium.

Having been in the upper deck of the Georgia Dome, it is somewhat scary. Throw in alcohol and it's a wonder things like this don't happen more often across the country. Prayers go out to his friends and family.

I know these railings can be kind of low, but... I had seats in the front row of the upper deck at the Forum (where the Republican Convention was held) for some NCAA basketball games, and you can only barely see over the railing, even at that height.
