This weekend, a man collapsed and died at Bonnaroo Music Festival. Find more about the incident below.
An unidentified festival attendee lost his life at Bonnaroo this weekend after collapsing at the main festival stage, also known as Centeroo. The reason for his death was wholly unrelated to the festival or even his environment. The 47-year old individual had pre-existing cardiac issues, which caused his untimely death.
However, this is the 12th death at the 14 year old Bonnaroo Music Festival. Bad luck, perhaps.
