Man found dead at Bonnaroo music festival

A cause of death has not been determined for the 32-year-old Huntsville, Ala., and his name has not been released, The Tennessean reported.

Coffee Country Sheriff Steve Graves said the body was being sent to state medical examiner Dr. Bruce Levy for an autopsy.

“We dont really know the cause of death other than it does not appear to be any type of violent act or trauma to the body,” Graves said.

Graves said the man’s name will be released once his family has been notified. He was found in the camping area at 9:15 a.m. Saturday and pronounced dead upon his arrival at the Medical Center of Manchester.

The man is the first to die at this year’s festival, which has drawn roughly 75,000 music fans and revelers to a 700-acre Manchester farm. Two festivalgoers died last year of drug overdoses, the first for the festival that began in 2002.

Festival planners had a plan in place this year to try to prevent more deaths, hiring more emergency personnel and special campground ambassadors.

The Bonnaroo festival runs through Sunday. Headliners include the Dave Matthews Band, former Phish frontman Trey Anastasio, The Black Crowes, and Alison Krauss.

Drug use is common at the event. Last year officers confiscated an array of drugs when they arrested 27 people and issued 132 citations for drug violations.
