MLB, Braves Sued by Family of Man That Died from Fall at Turner Field

The family of a 60-year-old man who fell 40 feet to his death at Turner Field last year filed a lawsuit against the Atlanta Braves and Major League Baseball Tuesday. 

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the family of Greg Murrey accused the Braves and MLB of knowingly installing and failing to improve upon an inadequate railing, which Murrey tumbled over during an August 2015 game between the Braves and New York Yankees.

Murrey's family said in the suit that the railing should have been at least one foot higher.

Per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com), three falling deaths have occurred at Turner Field since 2008, including one that was ruled a suicide.

Neither the Braves nor MLB have commented on the lawsuit thus far.

The Braves will cease playing at Turner Field following the 2016 season, and they will move to SunTrust Park beginning in 2017.
