Sweden: Man dies, kills another in concert venue descent

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Police in Sweden say two men died when one of them jumped or fell from the 7th floor of a culture center and landed on the other. Authorities said the 80-year-old man who crashed into the lobby of the Uppsala Konsert and Kongress venue died at the scene north of Stockholm on Tuesday night, and the 60-year-old man he struck died later. They say a woman who was with the 60-year-old man was hurt but her injuries were not considered life-threatening. Swedish media report a tribute concert to the two male members of ABBA, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, had been scheduled at the culture center but the event was canceled.
