A man has died after falling from the upper deck seating at Turner Field on Saturday during the New York Yankees' visit to the Atlanta Braves.

Medical personnel arrived on the scene at once after the man landed on the concrete behind home plate, and although he was originally ruled to be in "grave condition", he was pronounced dead at hospital.

"We have received confirmation that the fan involved in an accident at this evening's game has passed away," a statement from the Braves read.

"The Atlanta Braves offer their deepest condolences to the family."

There was no delay to the game.
