A 20-year-old man has died following a suspected drug overdose at the Beyond The Valley festival at Lardner, east of Melbourne, Victoria Police said in a statement.
The man, from Mansfield in Victoria’s north-east, was flown to hospital on Saturday in a critical condition, but died this morning.
Victoria Police spokeswoman Elaine Cooney said investigators were yet to determine the circumstances surrounding the man’s death.
“However, it is not being treated as suspicious,” she said.
Two other men have been hospitalised in recent days after suspected drug overdoses at the Beyond The Valley festival.
Yesterday morning, a man in his 20s was treated by paramedics at the festival and flown to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a critical condition.
The man’s condition was listed as stable this afternoon.
Early on Sunday morning, paramedics treated another man in his 20s at the festival.
That man was taken to Dandenong Hospital in a critical condition, but his condition was later upgraded to stable.
Today’s death follows that of another man who died after taking an unknown substance at the Lost Paradise music festival, west of Gosford in New South Wales.
The 22-year-old man, from the Brisbane suburb of Toowong, died in Gosford Hospital on Saturday night after attending the Glenworth Valley event.
Another man and a woman were hospitalised after they also took an unknown substance at the same festival and became sick.
More to come.
