A tragedy emerged from a WWE Raw event in Portland, Maine on Saturday night, with news circulating about a man who reportedly died in the stands, according to TMZ.

During the second match of the event—a fight between Austin Aries and the WWE Cruiserweight Champion, Neville—a yet-to-be-identified man collapsed out of his seat in the corner of the arena, forcing onsite EMTs to provide immediate medical attention.

Reports claim they conducted CPR for at least twenty minutes before removing him on a stretcher to take the man to a local hospital. After being taken to Maine Medical Center, the man was reportedly pronounced dead. 

According to one fan's recounting of the event, the man may have been in attendance to provide care and attention for another person in attendance:
