The 30-year-old landscape gardener spoke to his mother before his fatal fall to tell her that the game had been postponed for two hours because of rain and ended the phone call telling his mother, Connie Homer, that he loved her.

According to WBSTV, Homer fell from the 400-level upper deck and landed in the players parking area outside the stadium.

The game had just begun after heavy rains had caused an almost two-hour delay of the game which was scheduled to start at 7:10pm when the man fell.

At 11pm, police were still on the scene at the stadium trying to piece together how Homer fell.

Atlanta police spokesman John Chafee said witnesses described the fall as accidental, and added that he was not sure whether wet conditions or alcohol contributed to the fall.

'At this time there's no indication of foul play and the fall appears accidental,' Chafee said late Monday.

'It appears he fell from an upper-level platform to a secured lot below.'

Monday's accident wasn't the first of its kind to happen at Turner Field, and marked at least the third time a sports fan has fallen from the stands in Atlanta in about a year.

In May 2008, a 25-year-old Cumming, Georgia, man suffered head injuries when he fell down a stairwell at Turner Field during a game against the New York Mets and later died.

Police found that alcohol had factored into that accident, which the Braves said was the first non-medical fatality to happen at the ballpark.

Isaac Grubb, 20, of Lenoir City, Tennessee, died after falling over a railing at the Georgia Dome during a football game between Tennessee and North Carolina State on August 31, 2012. Authorities said he landed on another man seated in the lower level, and that alcohol was a factor.

A man fell about 25 feet over a staircase railing at a Georgia Tech-Miami football game on September 22, 2012 and was not seriously injured.

Turner Field became the home of the Braves in 1997, a year after serving as the site of major events for the 1996 Summer Olympics.

Police cannot yet comment on whether alcohol was a factor in this latest fall.
