Cops responded to the scene when the man, who has not yet been identified, was said to be injured in the stadium just before 10:30 p.m., according to the Metropolitan Police.

He was pronounced dead on the scene, and authorities confirmed his injuries were “consistent with a fall.”
Oasis members said they were “shocked and saddened” by the tragedy, offering ”sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved,” in a statement Sunday.
The concert was part of Oasis’ first tour in 16 years, drawing an estimated 80,000 fans per show since the tour early last month.
Their fans have helped set a new Wembley record of roughly 250,000 pints of beer sold each night, the Standard reported.
Roughly 4,500 kegs have been brought in for the gigs and unused areas of the stadium converted into storage to meet gig-goers’ boozy demands, the outlet said.
Pubs on the way to Wembley Stadium have also seen a boost in sales, according to local reports.
The amount of booze being sold at the stadium during the Oasis shows is more than double the number of pints peddled during Coldplay’s 2023 gigs there, according to catering company Delaware North.
Taylor Swift fans are practically teetotalers by comparison, reportedly downing just 40,000 pints during her London shows.
Oasis’s reunion tour, featuring brother duo Liam and Noel Gallagher, kicked off July 4 in Cardiff, Wales, with Saturday’s concert being the fourth of seven planned shows at Wembley.
Police are urging anyone who saw the man’s death or caught it on phone video to contact authorities as they continue to investigate..
Stadium management said Sunday’s gig would go ahead as planned.
