Not to take this too far off-topic, but just to set the record straight:

If you're referring to Victoria Snelgrove's death, that was after the 2004 ALCS, and she was unintentionally shot with a pepper-spray canister thanks to a member of the BPD who was subsequently suspended from the force because of the incident.

That is the only fatality that I'm aware of happening in Boston during our city's recent championship run.
