Cause of Death Still Unclear: 22-Year-Old Died at Electric Love Festival

The autopsy ordered by the public prosecutor's office, which is supposed to provide insights into the cause of death, was scheduled for Monday afternoon, a police spokeswoman said in response to an APA inquiry. The questioning of further witnesses will also take longer because the festival guests have since departed.

22-Year-Old Died at Electric Love Festival at Salzburgring

The fatal incident occurred on the last evening of the three-day festival. Since the German behaved aggressively, security personnel were called for assistance. During the intervention, the 22-year-old then lost consciousness for an unknown reason, the police stated in a release. Despite immediate first aid measures and the deployment of an emergency doctor, the 22-year-old died at the scene. The Red Cross reported a respiratory-circulatory arrest.

The Salzburg State Criminal Police Office has launched investigations into the facts and the cause of death. Whether the unconsciousness and death of the young festival-goer are directly related to the intervention of the security personnel is the subject of the investigations. However, interrogations abroad are also necessary, said the spokeswoman. Interrogation requests are being sent to the German authorities, who will then conduct the interviews. Additionally, a toxicological report has been commissioned. Its result may also take some time to be available.
