The victim in the accident has been identified by a medical examiner as Dalton Ryan Keane, 27, of Monaca, Pa.
The incident reportedly occurred at 4:45 p.m. ET when police and emergency responders attended to Keane after the fall from the escalator. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition before ultimately dying from his injuries.
