In an unexpected turn, Gagita was mum with the line of print and TV reporters, but instead strutted and unleashed some fierce clawing poses. "She's not talking to anyone," said a handler. "They tried to tackle her outside."

Yet, that was not enough for one photographer, whose anticipation of seeing GaGa reportedly led to his untimely demise.

According to Fame Pictures, "Gaga's arrival made a photographer at the event pass out while standing on a ladder, causing him to fall to his death."

While we have verified that an ambulance was called for the photog, we've been unable to confirm that he passed away.
