someone dies at Bonnaroo, what else is new? Happens every year.

"Thanks guys for watching my back" I imagine the inside of the tent was rather odorous.

Well, any city with 75,000 people has at least one death a day. It's tragic, but to be expected.

by that logic someone should die at every home game at neyland. the issue here is the vast majority are ingesting poisons to expand their minds. this guy just expanded his out of our universe.

The difference between bonnaroo and neyland is the people are only there for 3-4 hours. Bonnaroo is a multi day event. Beside you shouldnt cast stones without knowing for a fact how this young man died. For all we know it could have been heat stroke. I heard Tennessee summers are rather hot.

I, personally, am not casting stones. Someone dies almost every year. I think last year everyone got out alive. But the deaths in the past have been people who have partaken in mind expanding activities including drugs and alcohol mixed with the heat!
Sorry the guy died.
