Latitude festival: teenager dies
A 17-year-old boy died on the final day of the Latitude festival.
The teen was airlifted to hospital yesterday afternoon and died in the early hours of today.
A spokesman for the festival at Henham Park, Suffolk, said: "The young male suffered from an isolated medical condition.
"The police are not treating this as suspicious."
The boy was treated by three air ambulance medics at the scene after falling seriously ill, the
East Anglian Air Ambulance said.
About 35,000 people have attended the family-friendly arts and music festival headlined by Lily Allen and former Blur frontman Damon Albarn.
American rock duo The Black Keys played a final headline set last night. Weather conditions have been varied with temperatures reaching 28C on the first day.
But over the weekend there have been spectacular storms resulting in muddy conditions.
Many packed up their tents yesterday morning and some cars were already struggling in the mud in the car parks.
