A friend of the 20 -year -old pirate fan who suffered serious injuries after falling at 21 feet from the park of PNC park last month was accused of having pretended alcohol for him before the incident, according to judicial files, according to several reports.
Ethan Kirkwood, 21, would have bought two beers for Kavan Markwood during the Pirates-Cubs match on April 30 and now faces two chiefs of alcohol furniture to a person under the age of 21, according to the judicial archives.
Markwood, who played university football at the University of Wheeling in 2023, suffered injuries to his skull, the spine, the lungs, the ribs and the brains after having dropped the first on the wall – which measures 21 feet high to honor the legend of the pirates Roberto Clemente – while celebrating a double Andrew McCutchen during the Seventh round, as shown by the videos captured by fan.
Safety images of the interior of the PNC Park would have shown that Kirkwood would buy two 24 ounce Miller Lits in a kiosk shortly before the first launch, according to the criminal complaint filed by an application for the application of the control of the state police.
A video would show Kirkwood and Markwood both with a beer in hand, the police said in the complaint, which noted that the server had carded Kirkwood during the purchase.
Other images show that Kirkwood returns to his seat with two other cans of beer about 50 minutes before Markwood came across the right warning track.
“Two women are seen pouring in the stairs and looking for Kirkwood. Kirkwood is then seen putting a can a woman who throws her in the trash and jumping over a balustrade, then jumped on the ground to help her friend,” said the criminal complaint.
The game was temporarily delayed because the medical staff and the coaches tended to go to Markwood, who was withdrawn from the field and taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Markwood’s family has launched a gofundme to collect funds to cover their medical expenses and the recovery of a broken neck and collarbone.
“All broken,” said Markwood, describing his injuries after the incident.
He took his first steps on May 5, said his family.
“It is a slow slow process, but seeing it and moving has been a huge victory and has definitely gained the morale of everyone,” said the family. “He still has a long way to go – he is dealing with a neck, a collarbone and a back, so there are a lot of obstacles to come.
At the time, the chief doctor of Algheny General Hospital, Dr. Al Philp, said that Markwood had progressed well.
Markwood was also preparing for physiotherapy rehabilitation, which will include cognitive rehabilitation due to brain lesions.
