Unpleasant news: a young British man has died at Austria’s Snowbombing Festival.

As The Guardian report, the 25-year-old from West Bromwich collapsed yesterday afternoon. He had previously been complaining of chest pains. According to local police, the man “was treated by paramedics but lost consciousness and died.”

A postmortem will take place on Tuesday. The festival organisers have issued the following statement:

“We have offered every assistance and our thoughts are with the man’s family. His next of kin are being contacted. We cannot comment further at this point.”

The 5000+ capacity Snowbombing, which runs until April 12, takes place at the Mayrhofen ski resort, situated in the Zillertal valley. This year’s bill includes The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Carl Cox, Four Tet and Groove Armada.
