New Details re: Fatal Incident at St. Louis Show

Jasen Smith, his wife Darcy, and two friends were seated in the Right/Center section of the Mezzanine, Row PP, seats 22-28 during the show. After the final encore (Ants) at approximately 10:45pm, they remained near their seats for 10 to 15 minutes before departing the seating area as a group. Just short of the venue exit, they realized a t-shirt was accidentally left back at the Row PP seats, and Jasen went to quickly retrieve it while Darcy remained near the venue exit. This was approximately 11:00pm. The incident that resulted in a fatal injury to Jasen would have occurred on the concrete walkway, at the bottom of the lawn and behind Row ZZ of the Right/Center section around 11:03pm, plus or minus 5 minutes.

It is not currently known if Jasen was still on his way to the PP seats when the incident occurred, or if he made it to the seats and was on his way back to Darcy (with or without the shirt is also unknown, as the shirt was never located) when it happened.

This additional information is provided to help you if you were at this show, to possibly recall any detail, no matter how small, that could prove useful to the effort to learn what happened. We are seeking any information at all, not just witnesses to the actual incident, but to anything even slightly out of the ordinary that you may have noticed during this time period. Possible examples: someone running. venue staff behaving aggressively or oddly. an argument, or angry voices that you heard but did not see. someone looking under seats in Row PP. anything that stood out as unusual.

Please PM if you need contact information to reach the investigator assigned to this case. You can remain anonymous if you wish.
