- The 25-year-old collapsed on the first day of the festival in Austria.
A British man died at the Snowbombing festival in Austria on Monday, April 7th.
The 25-year-old, who came from West Bromwich, complained of chest pains before collapsing at 4 PM local time. "The man was treated by paramedics but lost consciousness and died," a local official told the Guardian.
An official statement from Snowbombing organisers read: "We have offered every assistance and our thoughts are with the man's family. His next of kin are being contacted. We cannot comment further at this point." This year's Snowbombing festival runs from April 7th through 12th.
