No one likes to be the messenger of bad news, and we’re not one to differ. However, with great disappointment, we’ve just learnt of a second death of an attendee at Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas over the past weekend.
The Las Vegas Sun reported that 25-year-old Anthony Anaya of Everett, Washington, was found unconscious on Sunday night in his hotel room, before later passing away. With reports claiming Anaya had attended EDC, medical examiners are set to conduct blood toxicology tests before they can state the cause of death.
Previously, 24-year-old MontgomeryTsang had also suffered a similar fate, but both deaths are believed to be caused bypreviously existing medical conditions. Following Tsang’s expiry, Insomniac Events released the following statement,
“Today we learned some very tragic news, that after attending the festival a guest of the show has passed away. We are deeply saddened by this news, and hope that everyone will join us in keeping his family and friends in their thoughts during this very difficult time. Dance music fans pride themselves in being part of a loving community and, as we get ready to start the second night of the show, we ask everyone to help us keep this event safe. Look after your group of friends, utilize the buddy system, and if you see something, say something. No one should ever hesitate to ask any of our medical staff, public safety personnel or Insomniac staff for help, or call 911 in case of an emergency. One death is one too many, and we all must do our part to keep each other safe, healthy and happy, tonight and every night.”
The Bangin Beats offers our deepest condolences to the near and dear ones of the departed.
