He was placed on life support following the fall before he died in hospital on Tuesday night.
Witnesses told local media he was trying to take down an Eagles flag.
“I guess he lost his balance and then fell,” Nick Alessandro told the CBS affiliate KYW-TV.
Sabapathy, from Canada, was a student at Temple University and was majoring in exercise and sports science.
Chaos erupted on the streets of Philadelphia after the Eagles made their second Super Bowl in three years.
The Eagles will take on the Kansas City Chiefs – the team of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – on February 9 in New Orleans.
At least three people were injured after a driver rammed into a crowd of fans.
“Everybody dancing, getting along. Next thing you know, a car coming down and it’s speeding and it hit 10 people,” a witness told NBC affiliate WCAU.
The driver, who has not been identified, was arrested at the scene.
Cops said the victims injuries were not life threatening.
And, one fan fired a gun into the air while celebrating, sparking panic.
