Three Men in Rhode Island May Face Charges in Death of Patriots Fan

In a recent development, three men from Rhode Island may be facing charges in connection with the tragic death of 53-year-old Dale Mooney, a dedicated New England Patriots fan. Mooney lost his life following an altercation at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, last month, as reported by the police on Thursday.

The Foxborough Police Department revealed that the identities of these three individuals have not yet been disclosed by law enforcement. However, it is anticipated that they could potentially face charges of assault and battery, as well as disorderly conduct, in the near future.

The unfortunate incident occurred on September 17, 2023, during a game between the New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium. Several videos circulated online, capturing the moments of Mooney’s involvement in an altercation with Miami Dolphins fans. He was subsequently transported to Sturdy Memorial Hospital, where he was declared dead just prior to midnight.

After Mooney’s tragic death, the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office released a preliminary autopsy report, which did not indicate any signs of traumatic injury but did identify a medical issue as a potential factor.

The official cause of Dale Mooney’s death still remains “undetermined,” according to the police, as further testing by the medical examiner’s office is pending. The circumstances surrounding this tragedy are still under investigation, and law enforcement continues to gather information.

The Foxborough Police Department, while acknowledging that the investigation is ongoing, stated that the available evidence supports the submission of applications for criminal complaints to Wrentham District Court. Detectives have reviewed numerous witness interviews and multiple angles of video footage capturing the incident as part of the ongoing investigation.

In the coming weeks, a probable-cause hearing is expected to be scheduled. This hearing may result in charges being filed and subsequently the release of the identities of the individuals involved in the altercation.

It is worth noting that stadium officials released a statement following Mooney’s passing, describing him as a “lifelong Patriots fan and 30-year season ticket member.”

The incident has garnered significant attention and is a tragic reminder of the potential consequences of altercations and conflicts that can sometimes occur in sports settings.
