The widow of a New England Patriots fan who was ‘beaten to death’ by a Miami Dolphins supporter has said he was taunted by his alleged killer before the attack started.

Season ticket holder Dale Mooney, 53, did not throw a single punch during the brawl that killed him at Gillette Stadium, according to his wife Lisa Mooney.

The father-of-two of Newmarket, New Hampshire, died following an incident in the 300-tier segment of the arena just before 11pm on Sunday. 

The Norfolk County DA’s Office said cops responded to calls for medical aid in the section at 10.57pm and ‘the matter remains under active investigation’.

Heartbroken Lisa Mooney told Boston 25 News that she heard her husband was being taunted by multiple Dolphins fans during the game – and that footage shows he did not retaliate during the ordeal.

Lisa called her husband a ‘good dad’ to their two adult sons.  

A photo from the Foxborough, Massachusetts stadium show EMTs scrambling to revive someone who is out of shot on the ground as worried fans watch on.

Videos also show security trying to break up a scuffle, and medics administering CPR a short time afterwards.  

One witness from the scene, Joseph Kilmartin, described the alleged attack by a Miami Dolphins fan as ‘hard to watch’.

‘They started tussling around for a few minutes,’ Kilmartin told WCVB.

‘At one point another Dolphins fan walked over. He punched him three times, and the man just went out. It was pretty hard to watch.’ 

He said that Mooney was hit twice in the face before falling into his seat unconscious. 

Several other anonymous witnesses gave similar descriptions of the ‘brutal’ attack which caused Mooney to ‘crumble’, while speaking with Boston 10 at the scene. 

‘One word I can really use is shocking,’ one bystander said. ‘My thoughts go out to that man’s family. It’s awful what happened,’ another person commented.

Mooney’s devastated wife said she felt ‘numb’ after hearing the horrific news about her husband and father-of-two, who has been a dedicated Patriots season ticket holder for three decades. 

‘I just feel numb I can’t even believe this is for real,’ Lisa told WCVB. 

‘I don’t understand why people have to go to that extreme. Why can’t it just be fun, that’s all it’s supposed to be, just a fun family event.’ 

She added that her husband had no known medical condition that could cause him to pass out, and he ‘has the patience of a saint’. 

‘I don’t know what happened… it takes a lot to get him mad,’ she said. 

The District Attorney’s Office said the investigation into his death was following ‘normal protocol’ with  an autopsy due to take place in the coming days. 

No arrests have been made over the incident.
