‘The porch Cieslak is referring to was on the third floor of an old apartment building in Lincoln Park. The former Northern Illinois tight end was attending a party there on the night of June 29, 2003, with two of his friends, teammates Shea Fitzgerald and Pat Raleigh. Shortly after midnight, Cieslak decided to head inside for a drink after talking with some of the other partygoers on the wooden porch of the apartment. Fitzgerald stayed outside. A few seconds later, the porch collapsed to the ground.’
