Kavan Markwood says he saw no video from autumn in PNC Park

The 20-year-old man, who was brought to the hospital in a critical condition after a fall in Pittsburgh's PNC Park last week, said that he was still pain and described his injuries as “everything”.

Cavan Markwood gave his first known interview since autumn and told Triblive on Wednesday that he did not see a video of what happened and hopes to be released from the hospital in a week.

“I'm fine,” he told the outlet. “I can't really sleep. I have a lot of back pain.”

He added the injuries: “I think if I come home, I will just put ice cream on it.”

Markwood slipped a railing on April 30 during the seventh in the 4: 3 victory of the pirates against the Chicago Cubs and fell into the field onto the field. He was brought to the Allegheny General Hospital in a critical condition. Pittsburgh's public security, which includes the police and EMS in Pittsburgh, referred to the incident as an accident.

Dr. Allan Philp, the Chief Medical Officer of Allegheny General Hospital, announced on Wednesday with Action News 4 that Markwood suffered serious injuries to skulls, spine, ribs and lungs in autumn.

“I am pleased to say that he is progressing well, he is now at a point where he is from the breath machine from the intensive care unit and prepares to go to the next step, which will be physiotherapy, rehab,” Philp told The Outlet.
