Man Dies At Bonnaroo Music Festival In America

Authorities in America are still waiting for the results of an autopsy of a man that died at this weekend’s Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee.

The 32 year old man from Huntsville, Alabama was found dead on Saturday morning but his name and the cause of death have yet to be released. Witnesses at the event believe he was suffering from the medical disorder sleep apnea reports Billboard.

A local nurse, Monica Lambert, who tried to help the man said that his friends told her he suffered from the medical disorder in which the throat passage is narrow and becomes blocked by the throat muscles when they relax, cutting off the person's supply of oxygen.

Lambert, who estimated the victim weighed about 260 pounds, said emergency crews administered CPR but couldn't revive him. "He was already pretty blue by the time we got on the scene," she said. "So he had probably been dead for a while."

Around 75,000 people attended the event this year at a 700 acre farm. Two festival goers died last year of drug overdoses, the first for the festival that began in 2002.
