The organization also shared that the woman was a lifelong supporter of the Patrick Mahomes’ team who loved to enjoy their game and cheer for them.
“Jessica’s family shared that she was a lifelong Chiefs fan and loved cheering for the team,” Mosaic said.
Chiefs’ training finished uninterruptedly despite the surrounding events
Even though Jessica’s passing was kept a secret by Mosaic, it nonetheless had an impact on the entire team. The majority of the Chiefs’ training camp was held during a heatwave in July that broke records for the region, therefore heat stroke may have been to blame for the fatal accident.
The Kansas City team continued to train despite the depressing news and the heat weather. The team’s training camp will go on until August 17 which will take place regularly in the morning and are open to the public.
Although the terrible deaths of the fans are utterly heartbreaking, they should serve as a warning to the authorities to be careful when choosing venues and taking the surrounding area into consideration.
