A source told the Mail Online that the arena was dark and there was no handrail while he left the stage.
Fry reportedly left the venue in a wheelchair.
The accident happened on Thursday last week and it has not been reported whether the actor has been discharged from hospital.
Organisers of the CogX conference have launched an investigation into the accident.
