Warped Tour Release Statement Addressing Fan's Death

Warped Tour have released a statement addressing the recent death of a young fan (now identified as Taylor Nesseth) at the Toronto stop of the touring festival.

"The Vans Warped Tour family is saddened by the death of a patron attending Toronto’s concert at The Flats at Molson Canadian Amphitheater on July 15, 2012. The patron collapsed and was immediately attended to by security and venue medical staff. After attempts to resuscitate on the grounds, the patron was later pronounced dead after arriving at a local hospital. Out of respect for the family, we have not released the name of the patron. The cause of the death has yet to be determined but the Warped Tour and Molson Amphitheater staff are working closely with the authorities to investigate and determine the nature surrounding the incident and will make further details known as they become available. Our deepest condolences are with the patron’s family and friends."

The cause of Nesseth's death is still yet to be determined but is suspected to be from a heart attack or from heat exhaustion.
