Woodstock man falls to his death at Soldier Field

 

believe it was an accident.

Stuart Haverty, 23, had been at the Chicago Bears-Philadelphia Eagles game with co-workers, said Bruce Glass, his boss and co-owner of Fox Tool and Manufacturing in Woodstock. Haverty and Glass had been seated separately from four others in the group and went to meet up shortly before halftime.

Haverty's uncle, Tim, said his nephew might have gone for a cigarette but was told he couldn't smoke in that area. Haverty might have gone beyond a barrier to find a place to smoke, gone too far and lost his balance

Haverty was part of the Woodstock High School Class of 2006, but graduated early as part of the Career and Technical Education Program, according to Barb Banker, director of community services for District 200.

Haverty worked at Fox Tool for seven years, starting part-time in high school. He bought his own home at age 20 and was about a year away from finishing a precision toolmaking apprenticeship, Glass said.

He also attended McHenry County College from fall 2005 through spring 2009, school officials said.
