Bernie Brewer Has Died
MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee’s beloved mascot, Bernie Brewer died last night at the team’s World Series watch party at American Family Field. Paramedics believe alcohol poisoning was the cause of death. The celebration continued for several hours after the final out, with Bernie reportedly among the last guests to leave.
By the time cleanup began, the stadium was empty, the floor was covered in confetti, and Bernie had not made it home. He was known for his enthusiasm at team celebrations and rarely left before the party ended.
At 2:17 a.m., event staff located Brewer in a single-occupancy restroom near the east concourse and called emergency services. Paramedics arrived at 2:26 a.m. and pronounced him dead at 2:39 a.m.
The Brewers organization said a memorial service will be held, with details to be announced.
