“During the first quarter of the Kings vs. Pelicans game, a guest had a medical emergency,” the statement, via ESPN, read. 

“EMS immediately responded and administered CPR. Tragically, these efforts were unsuccessful and the guest passed away. The organization offers its deepest condolences to the guest’s family and loved ones.”
