Eric Zylema, 31, of Caledonia fell from the Pontiac Silverdome's second level to the concrete floor late Tuesday night, said police Sgt. Conway Thompson. Zylema was pronounced dead a half-hour later at a nearby hospital.Foul play was not suspected. Zylema had been dancing on the handrail several times, but police and security guards did not see him before the fatal fall because most of the stadium's lights were off during the concert, Thompson said.
