The student did not appear responsive to CPR and defibrillator paddles used by medics who rushed to the man’s seat in the corner area of the student section, witnesses said.

He was taken from the stadium on a body board after medics spent several minutes attempting to revive him, said human biology junior Maggie Parks, who saw the incident from her seat a few rows away.

“It appeared that he was in bad shape,” she said. “For all I know, he could’ve fallen and hit his head or had a heart condition. … For a long time they were doing chest compressions there and doing breathing for him there.”

Landscape junior Kory Lambarth, who was seated two sections away from the U-M student, said people seated in the area watched in horror.

“It was one of those things you can’t get out of your head,” he said. “His head was bouncing on the way down the stairs — he didn’t look alive. Everyone was just freaking out about it. People couldn’t pay attention to the game.”

Kuchek said although the student is alive, he did not know anything further about his condition. Kuchek was unsure of the reason for the collapse, as police ceased involvement when it became clear the situation strictly was a medical concern.

The collapse appeared to be health-related and the student was not pushed or shoved by anyone in the stands, Kuchek said.

Hours later, a 25-year-old Ortonville, Mich., man with no MSU affiliation died Saturday night after falling and hitting his head on Gunson Street, East Lansing police Lt. Tom Vanderwoude said.

The man had been drinking and the incident was alcohol-related, Vanderwoude said. No further details were available Sunday.

Despite the two major incidents, the rest of the weekend was nothing police didn’t expect, Parking and Code Enforcement officer Jeff Horn said. Horn said although police were busier than they would be on an average Saturday, the number of calls and arrests was not larger than it usually is after a typical home football game.
