The son of a famous New York restaurateur died over the weekend following a “tragic accident” in Madison Square Garden after a hockey game, authorities said.
New York police responded to a 911 call for an injured person in the indoor arena at 10:40 p.m. Saturday, shortly after a Rangers game ended.
Officers found Ernest Vogliano Jr., 61, “unresponsive and unresponsive with severe head trauma.” He was transported to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, where he was pronounced dead. Vogliano is the son of Ernest Vogliano, the former owner of the temporarily closed Il Vagabondo in Manhattan.
NBC News has contacted the New York City Chief Medical Examiner’s Office to find out the cause and circumstances of death.
