Hanover Park man dies in fall at Chevelle concert in Chicago

A Hanover Park man fell to his death during a concert Friday night at the Aragon Theater on Chicago's North Side.

Kyle Kirchoff, 24, of Hanover Park, fell from a catwalk and was impaled on pieces of metal, police said.

The incident stopped the performance by local band Chevelle, who posted a note about the accident on their Facebook page.

"To our fans at the Chicago show: We are very sorry we had to end the show early. Due to a serious injury in the crowd the fire marshal was forced to cancel the rest of the show. We hope that whoever was injured makes a swift recovery," the band wrote before news of the fan's death was confirmed.
