Update: Police: Latest B.O.B. fall victim had high blood-alcohol level

GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Kevin Richard O'Brien, 36, died Monday evening of injuries sustained in a four-story fall early Sunday at The B.O.B. in Grand Rapids, police confirmed.

O'Brien, of Wyoming, was pronounced dead at an area hospital at 7:19 p.m., police said. His fatal fall was the second such incident at the club in a month, and has prompted an investigation by the state Liquor Control Commission.

O'Brien had been on life support at Saint Mary's Health Care in Grand Rapids. Brian Ball, a longtime friend, said family planned to take O'Brien off life support Monday.

Police found O'Brien at the bottom of The B.O.B.'s interior stairwell Sunday after the 1:45 a.m. incident.

Authorities have not described the circumstances surrounding the fall.

"He was so much fun to have around," Ball said. "He was always the guy that remembered everybody's name, and was the center of attention."

O'Brien was self-employed in the construction business, Ball said. Both men graduated together from Portage Central High School in 1996.

O'Brien's death is the second resulting from a four-story fall at The B.O.B., a multi-venue entertainment complex in Grand Rapids, in a month.

In April, 21-year-old Zachary Bunting of Grand Ledge fell to his death in the same interior stairwell.

In 2009, a Dorr man celebrating his 21st birthday fell to his death on the main stairway.

Ball said Sunday that O'Brien's family, who are from the VIcksburg area, planned to donate his organs.

"He was a great guy," Ball said. "Grand Rapids is going to miss him, that's for sure."
