A member of Glastonbury Festival’s crew has been pronounced dead on the site after being found unresponsive in his tent. Avon and Somerset Police were called after the man, aged in his 40s, was found in The Park on the Pilton site at about 2.20pm on Tuesday.
A force spokesman said: “Sadly, the man, a member of the festival’s crew, was confirmed dead at the scene. The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report is being prepared for the coroner.”
It was the second fatality at the festival this year, after a man in his 40s died in a medical incident in the early hours of Sunday. Emergency services attended the incident, which happened on a footpath known as the old railway line, shortly before 4am.
