Louis died of injuries sustained when he fell around 20 feet onto concrete pavement while sitting on the top row of the bleachers at Tyler's East Texas Park. It happened around 8:00 PM, just as a Big State League baseball game was about to begin between the Tyler East Texans and the Wichita Falls Spudders. It's never been clear as to why Louis fell. The top row had a back railing, but there was a dispute regarding whether or not it was defective where Louis was sitting. His parents filed a $15,000-dollar lawsuit and were awarded $700.
