A witness to Paul Kueker’s death made chilling descriptions of his final moments
It was reported earlier that Paul Kueker struck a few people in the audience while falling from the 150-foot-high balcony at the Manhattan concert. One of the concertgoers who “got hit” by the Connecticut-based dad shared some nerve-racking details about how they remembered the incident. The unnamed individual claimed to have been struck by Paul’s falling body and then suddenly found themself standing in a pool of blood. They called that the body hit their friend as well, who was seated right next to them. As the two of them tried to figure out what they had been hit with, the witness saw Paul’s lifeless body. They stated
“His [Paul Kueker’s] head was like a foot to the left of my shoes. Within a few seconds, I was standing in blood. That’s why I’m trying to figure out what hit me…And my friend was one seat further away and got hit by something, so I want to figure out what that was, too.”
The witness was traumatised after realising what exactly happened. They took time to process the situation and were left in shock and terror once it hit them. According to the witness, besides them and their friend, a few other concertgoers were also struck during the tragic leaping of Paul at Goose’s June 20, 2026, concert. The band, however, continued to perform as they were allegedly unaware of the incident at that time. Later, after their show, they issued a statement expressing their grief over the devastating incident.
