The president of Temple University, John Fry, mourned for the student's death in a statement published last night.
'It is with deep sorrow that we write to share news about the death of first -year student Tyler Sabathy. Tyler sustained critical injuries during the weekend and eventually died this afternoon.
'The loss of a promising 18-year-old man and Tyler is both tragic and traumatic. There are no words that can understand, and the entire temple community mourns for his death, “wrote Fry.
'Our hearts go to Tyler's family, friends, classmates and everyone who knew him and Van Hoden.

“He undoubtedly had a bright future for him, and it is so tragic that we will not be able to see how he would have left his mark on the world,” the university president added.

The devastating accident was recorded on the camera, with a video that showed the horrible moment that the student lost his grip on the post and cherished in a crowd of football fans.
His fall came after Mayor Cherelle Parker begged fans to not climb light posts, as is usual after a victory.
“You don't want to be at a festive moment, you know, let a tragedy take place,” Mayor Cherelle Parker warned and added: “Please don't climb the posts.”
Video on social media showed another fan who fell out of a light pole after trying to grab a flag that tore.
However, the man seemed to be unharmed when the crowd was seen in cheers as soon as he got up.
The police are also investigating a number of other injuries, including a stab and attacks.

'As for climbing street light posts, that is not only illegal [trespassing] But is unsafe because many of the street light samples in the French neighborhood are quite old, “Fletcher said in an e -mail on the Philadelphia Inquirer.
“Climbing to climb the light post to overthrow.”
