The name of the deceased has not been < < < released, < < pending notification of his immediate family. He is believed to be a < < < former < < Dallas < < Cowboys/Chicago Bulls/New York Mets fan, who was attempting a leap < to the < < Oklahoma < < bandwagon. < < The incident seems to have been caused by a 31-24 loss to Texas A&M < < Saturday afternoon. < < "You hear about things like this in other towns, but I never thought < it < < would happen here" said Bruce Snead, mayor of Manhattan. < < Preliminary police reports indicated the wagon, which was recently < < purchased from a dealer in Tallahassee, Fla., was in poor working < < condition and could not handle the load from the hoards of Wildcat < fans < < that had climbed aboard. < < "We were getting concerned that this might happen after the loss to < < Oklahoma," said Manhattan Police Chief Fitzgerald High. "We really < < became concerned after the CU game, but there were still only a few < < folks jumping off here and there. Then came Saturday's loss and they < all < < jumped...the horror!" < < The incident was not without heroes. Kansas State quarterback Ell < < Roberson, without regard for his own life, attempted to throw a rope < to < < the bandwagon's driver to help bring the vehicle under control. < < Unfortunately, Roberson drastically under threw the driver, catching < the < < axle of the bandwagon instead, and was unable to hold on to the < rope, < < fumbling away his opportunity to aid those in need. < < K-State's Mark Dunn attempted a similar effort, but his throw was < < intercepted by a nearby tree, never to reach the bandwagon driver. < < Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder could not be reached for < comment. < < < < < Notice: This information is intended only for the person or entity to < which it is addressed and may contain privileged and/or confidential < material.
