A young man has tragically died at a music festival in Sydney.
The man, aged in his 20s, died at the Knockout Outdoor Music Festival at Sydney Olympic Park at 11.50pm on Saturday.
NSW Police said the man suffered a medical episode and could not be revived by paramedics after emergency services arrived at the scene.
His death is not being treated as suspicious and a report is being prepared for the Coroner.
Police Commissioner Karen Webb confirmed on Sunday that there had ‘been some hospitalisations for drug use or drug ingestion’.
‘It’s always risky whenever you take illegal drugs, you never know where they’re made,’ Ms Webb said.
As many as 60,000 people attended the music festival on the weekend.
Two men, aged 26 and 21, died in seperate incidents about 1 am after last year’s Knockout event.
