Mississippi St. Student Dies After Falling from Davis Wade Stadium Jumbotron

Andrew Scott Demboski, a 21-year-old junior at Mississippi State University, died early Saturday morning after falling from the top of the Jumbotron video system at the south end of Davis Wade Stadium, according to WTVA.com's Steve Rogers.

Oktibbeha County Coroner Michael Hunt confirmed that Demboski went into cardiac arrest and died of apparent head injuries after falling from "a wide sheet metal awning that spans the top of the device."

According to Rogers, Demboski and two other male students climbed the Jumbotron. Mississippi State students have attempted to climb the structure in the past as part of dares.
