Two People Died During Rothbury
Music Festival
Authorities say two people died at the
Rothbury Music Festival in Oceana County over the Fourth
of July holiday weekend. State police Lt. Dave Roesler
says the two people were in separate groups and had
separate medical emergencies on Sunday. Autopsies have
been completed, but Roesler said Tuesday no cause of
death was found. A toxicology report will be ready in
three to four weeks. Roesler declined to release any
identifying information about the two. The county medical
examiner's office also declined to comment. Thousands
of people descended upon the tiny village of Rothbury
for the festival Thursday through Sunday. It included
performances by the Dave Matthews Band and Snoop Dogg.
