Man's Death Linked to Ultra Music Festival

A 21-year-old man's death last weekend has been linked to the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Billboard reports.

According to NBC 6 South Florida, Adonis Pena Escoto attended the festival with a group of friends. After telling them he felt dizzy, his friends reportedly escorted him to the car and told him to rest until he felt better. "The friends go back to the festival. When they left, he never [woke] up," Rosa Escoto, Adonis' aunt, told NBC.

"The autopsy is yet to be completed and the toxicology will take probably a few months," said Miami Police chief Manuel Orosa at a press conference.

This follows the news that 28-year-old Erica Mack was trampled by gate crashers while working at the festival as a security guard. Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado and other city officials have called for an end to the festival.

Correction: A previous version of this story erroneously asserted that Mack had died.
