I’ve got some information on a tragic incident involving a fan at a Dallas Cowboys game, but it’s Chuck Hughes, a Detroit Lions player, collapsed on the field during a game against the Chicago Bears at Tiger Stadium, not at the Dallas Cowboys stadium.¹ Hughes died shortly after arrival at the hospital due to a coronary thrombosis caused by undiagnosed arteriosclerosis.
However, I did find another incident where a Cowboys fan was killed. On December 7, 2014, Charles Lee Setchel, a 48-year-old Cowboys fan, got into a verbal argument with a group of Washington Redskins fans at a restaurant in Chesapeake, Virginia. The argument escalated into a physical fight, and Setchel was struck in the neck, severing an artery that eventually killed him.²
Regarding the specific headline you mentioned, I couldn’t find any recent or reliable sources confirming a fan was found dead at the Dallas Cowboys stadium with a statement from the head coach.
