Two people died this past weekend at the Sunset Music Festival in Tampa, Florida.
Police are currently investigating the cause of death for 22-year-old Alex Haynes and 21-year-old Katie Bermudez. Another 57 people were also hospitalized at the 30,000-person festival, which included sets from Skrillex, Diplo, Claude VonStroke and Claptone. A local medical examiner says the the two deaths can likely be attributed to drug overdoses, WFLA reports.
"We don't know [what happened]... They have an autopsy going on," Bermudez's mother said to FOX 13. "The hospital didn't know, they were bewildered with how to treat this."
The Sunset Music Festival released the following statement to the media:
The health, safety and welfare of our fans and community is Sunset Music Festival's first priority and we take every measure to create a safe environment at our events. Any loss of life is a tragedy and we extend our deepest heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of those affected. Due to the ongoing investigation by the medical examiner's office, Sunset will not issue additional comments at this time.
