Buffalo, NY (WGRZ) - Family members of Buffalo Bills fan Joseph Kammerer say initial reports indicate that the 24-year-old died of cardiac arrest.
Kammerer was sitting in the lower bowl Sunday when he apparently collapsed.
Autopsy results released Tuesday failed to indicate a cause, but officials say they did not suspect anything suspicious.
On Wednesday, family members visited Ralph Wilson Stadium and placed flowers where Kammerer was sitting.
The family tells WGRZ-TV that Head Coach Dick Jauron and punter Brian Moorman both came to speak with them.
Moorman declined to talk, but Coach Jauron said this, "I don't know what to say about it. There is so little to say to people in that situation. You know, your son or your brother or your nephew or your friend goes off to something he loves, apparently he just loved the Buffalo Bills, so he comes to a place he loves and he doesn't comes home. And what do you say to the mother or the family? You know there's very little you can say. It seemed to give them a little more peace of mind to come to the stadium, to the spot where he was, and that was good. That was real good. You know, life is short. Life is short."
Kammerer's family tells WGRZ that Joseph graduated from Pioneer High School and was working in construction.
He was apparently such a huge bills fan he went to the game by himself.
The family is still waiting for more test results in the hopes of finding an exact cause of his death.
Orchard Park Police Chief Samuel McCune said fans in the vicinity did not notice anything unusual in Kammerer's behavior leading up to his collapse.
