BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU officials say a man has died of a heart attack at Tiger Stadium during the school's 10-7 victory over Mississippi on Saturday night.

Officials said emergency medical personnel responded, but were unable to resuscitate the man.

The man was sitting in the lower bowl of the south end zone when the health emergency happened.

Officials have not released the man's identity.

The victim was part of a Tiger Stadium record-tying crowd of 102,321.

The game's result was in doubt until LSU safety Ronald Martin's interception of Mississippi quarterback Bo Wallace on the 1 with 2 seconds left.
