Rolling Stone is reporting that Bonnaroo’s cleaning crew found a dead body on site on June 16th, the day after the festival ended. Details are sparse, but the Caucasian male was in his 20’s, thought to be from Alabama, and last seen alive around 3:00 pm on June 15. Lack of bodily trauma leads officials to believe that the death was either drug-related or caused by a pre-existing medical condition. Sadly, this is the seventh death in the festival’s eight year run, despite the fact that arrests were down this year in comparison to previous years. If you intend to be a festival-goer this summer, please keep in mind that excess sex, drugs, and/or rock n’ roll can be deadly.

1 in 80,000 over 4 days is pretty good for anywhere.
