LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas police have identified a man who fell to his death after entering an unauthorized area near an observation wheel on the Strip.
The Clark County Coroner's office confirmed Tuesday that 23-year-old Stefan Quinton Jones-Green, of Philadelphia, suffered fatal injuries when he fell Friday.
The cause of death remains pending.
According to police, the incident appears to be an accident.
Lt. Richard Meyers says investigators believe Jones-Green went into the off-limits loading area of the High Roller Observation Wheel.
Police say he was running around when he fell 50 feet from a set of stairs.
He was transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
