Dodgers Fan Linda Goldbloom's Death Ruled a Blunt-Force Injury by Foul Ball

A Los Angeles Dodgers fan died during a game at Dodger Stadium last August after being struck by a foul ball.

According to Outside the Lines' William Weinbaum, the Los Angeles County coroner determined Linda Goldbloom died after suffering an "acute intracranial hemorrhage due to history of blunt force trauma," which happened during the Dodgers' 5-4 win over the San Diego Padres.

Goldbloom was hit in the ninth inning when a foul ball from Padres right fielder Franmil Reyes sailed above the protective netting behind home plate on the first-base side.
