Report: Fan Struck in Head by Foul Ball at Dodgers Game Died of Blunt Force Injury

A California woman died after being struck in the head by a foul ball last August at Dodger Stadium, reports Outside the Lines' William Weinbaum.

Linda Goldbloom, 79, died Aug. 29. The coroner's report states the cause of Goldbloom's death as "acute intracranial hemorrhage" and "history of blunt force trauma." ESPN reports the injury occurred when Goldbloom was hit with a baseball at an Aug. 25 game at Dodger Stadium.

According to ESPN, the accident happened in the top of the ninth inning when the Padres' Franmil Reyes fouled a ball to the first-base side of home plate off Dodgers pitcher Kenley Jansen.
