The cause of Mooney's death has not yet been determined. Initial autopsy reports do not showcase any traumatic injuries but did determine a serious medical issue.
Investigators said they feel confident they have the correct men after reviewing several camera angles of the incident and after getting testimonies from several witnesses to the altercation. One fan, Joseph Kilmartin, actually recorded the incident on the stadium's 300-level. Kilmartin said that, nearing the end of the fourth quarter, Mooney approached a man in a Miami Dolphins jersey that Mooney and his friends had been jawing with for most of the game.
"He basically grabbed another fan," claimed Kilmartin. "They started tussling around for a few minutes. At one point, another fan walked over. He punched him, and the man just went out."
After the fight, first responders performed CPR on Mooney at the stadium before escorting him to Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro. He was pronounced dead there.
