(AP) — Kansas City police have identified the man who died in Arrowhead Stadium’s parking lot on Sunday as 30-year-old Kyle A. Vanwinkle of Smithville.

Police spokesman Darin Snapp says an examination of Vanwinkle’s body did not show obvious signs of trauma. He says it could be four to six weeks before the cause of death is determined.

Officers responded at 5:20 p.m. Sunday to an altercation in the parking lot and found Vanwinkle unconscious on the ground. Snapp says a Jeep owner and his son returned to the vehicle during the Chiefs game against Denver and found Vanwinkle inside, leading to a fight.

He says Vanwinkle was taken to a hospital, where he was declared dead.

Three people taken into custody for questioning were released Monday with no charges filed.

 

 

 

(AP) – Police say officers are searching a suburban Kansas City home in connection with the death of a man found unconscious in the stadium parking lot during Sunday’s Chiefs-Broncos game.

Police spokesman Darin Snapp said Monday that detectives received information that evidence related to the man’s death is at the home in Independence.

Snapp says officers called to the scene Sunday evening in the parking lot outside Arrowhead Stadium found the man unconscious in a vehicle that wasn’t his. He says the man had apparently had an altercation with the vehicle’s owner.

An autopsy will determine how the man died. Police haven’t released his name but say he’s in his mid-20s.

Three people were taken into custody for questioning and were expected to be released later Monday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Police say one person has died and three people are in custody after an altercation in the parking lot of Arrowhead Stadium where the Kansas City Chiefs were inside playing the Denver Broncos.

Police spokesman Darin Snapp tells The Associated Press the death is being treated as a homicide but no arrests have been made. He says the victim had returned to his vehicle to find a stranger inside it and a struggle ensued.

The victim, a man in his 20s, was found unconscious on the pavement. Snapp says paramedics began administering first aid before he was transported to a hospital, where he died. His name has not been released.

Chiefs spokesman Ted Crews says the team knows about the incident but cannot comment further because of the police investigation.
