A post-mortem examination took place today (August 26), although police say the Coroner is waiting for toxicology and histology test results before a cause of death can be determined. This should take approximately one week.

Inspector John Relph, who has been overseeing the running of the festival, said: “The tragic events of this sudden death have dampened things and our sympathies and thoughts are with the family of the boy who died.”
