A tragic incident occurred on the first day of the Sunburn EDM Festival in North Goa when a 26-year-old man from Delhi, identified as Karan Kashyap, collapsed and later died. The incident took place at 9:45 PM, drawing attention from both festival organizers and local authorities. Karan, who was attending the festival, suddenly collapsed without warning, prompting immediate medical assistance from on-site emergency teams.
Despite efforts to revive him, Karan was pronounced dead shortly after the collapse. Authorities are investigating the cause of death, and while the exact reasons remain unclear, preliminary reports suggest that the man may have suffered from a medical issue unrelated to the festival environment. However, the investigation is ongoing to rule out any potential causes such as alcohol or substance abuse, which are often concerns at large public gatherings like music festivals.
The Sunburn EDM Festival, one of India’s largest electronic music festivals, attracts thousands of music lovers every year. This tragic incident has cast a shadow over the event, highlighting the importance of health and safety measures at large-scale gatherings. Organizers have expressed their condolences to the family of the deceased and assured that all safety protocols were followed during the event.
The Goa Police and local authorities have opened an investigation to determine the exact cause of Karan Kashyap’s death and whether there were any lapses in the safety measures at the festival.
