Gregory Kent Murrey fell to his death last August after going over the upper deck railing at Turner Field during a Braves home game against the Yankees. Now, his family has filed a lawsuit against the Braves and Major League Baseball, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The family is claiming negligence over the height of the guard railing. They claim the railing is only 30 inches high, and it should be 42 inches, what they claim to be the industry standard. They also claim Murrey, who was 60 years old when he fell, would not have fallen had the railing been the appropriate height.
