COPENHAGEN, DENMARK -- Two men died when one of them jumped or fell from the seventh floor of a culture center in Sweden and landed on the other, police said.
The 80-year-old man who crashed into the lobby of the Uppsala Konsert and Kongress venue Tuesday night died at the scene north of Stockholm, and the 60-year-old man he struck died later, police said.
A tribute concert to the two male members of ABBA, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, had been scheduled at the culture center on Tuesday night, but the event was canceled, according to Swedish media. "We are all shocked by the tragic accident and our thoughts go to the deceased, their relatives and their families," a message on the website said.
The organizers of an upcoming ABBA concert tweeted Wednesday that they were holding off on releasing a promotional trailer for the show until Thursday in light "of the tragic news at the tribute concert in Sweden last night."
