Friedman’s death follows the passing of a 35-year-old man at Bonnaroo Music Festival last weekend in Tennessee. This is reportedly the first death at Firefly in its seven-year run. Representatives of the festival have not publicly commented on the incident at this time.
The four-day event, which takes place annually at Dover International Speedway, drew in thousands of music fans. Last year, there was an estimated 90,000 attendees.
