Police have opened an investigation into the death, which they say doesn’t appear to be criminal.

They aren’t ruling out drugs or alcohol as factors.

Festival organizers said on Facebook their medical team intervened quickly and that it was offering condolences to the family of the deceased concertgoer.

The three-day festival wraps up its 13th edition on Saturday and describes itself as the biggest rock festival in Canada.
