Two men died on Tuesday evening in Uppsala, Sweden.
According to the police, an 80-year-old man fell from a gallery in the foyer of the concert building seven floors down on other concert-goers in front of an Abba tribute concert.
He and another man were killed in the process.
In addition, a woman around 60 years old was injured.
The police assume an accident.
The incident occurred on Tuesday around 7 p.m., half an hour before the scheduled start of the concert.
The concert - the homage "Thank You For The Music" for the two Abba members Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus - was canceled after the accident.
At that time there were around a thousand people in the UKK concert and congress building.
A police spokesman emphasized on Wednesday night that there was no evidence of a possible criminal background to the fall.
