Second Bonnaroo Death Confirmed

A few days ago it was revealed that a woman died at this year’s Bonnaroo festival, for as-yet-unconfirmed reasons.

The 32-year-old had been found in a tent by her friends, and is awaiting an autopsy.

Now it’s been confirmed there was a second death at the tenth anniversary of the Tennessee event, which took place over the weekend.

According to Associated Press,
Coffee County Sheriff Stephen M. Graves said yesterday that 24-year-old Christopher $William$ Yoder died of hyperthermia early Sunday after being airlifted to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga.

Bonnaroo organisers have released the following statement: ‘The safety of our patrons is our No. 1 concern, and we are deeply saddened by this.’

Acts playing the event this year included Arcade Fire, Eminem, My Morning Jacket and The Strokes.
