There was someone down and they were doing chest compressions for the entire time the Mets were up at the plate. As someone who as been involved in far too many of those situations at work, I am sure it did not end well but sometimes miracles happen. I couldn't see when they eventaully put him on the stretcher and took him to the ambulance but I can't think of a more traumatic experience for the gentleman's family (or whoever came to the game with him) and for the people, especially any kids in the area. I have my fingers crossed that it turned out alright and it really put the meaninglessness of the beaseball game in perspective.
Sorry to say the gentleman died.

I was perusing PhilaPhans for sh*ts and giggles...which, BTW, there were MANY, but someone at the game said they tried to revive him but to no avail.

Of course, that person was at the game, I think, so they could be wrong with what happened after the person was taken out.
