Just wondering how many deaths have occurred at bonnaroo and what were the causes? strictly just heat exhaustion or drug use? Can you give me any websites that have this information.Thanks!
On average one a year from a combined number of forces. From sleep apnea to being run over by Ricky Skaggs. If I would have to guess I would say exhaustion was probably the common contributing factor to all of them. However if one made a statistical model of a 80,000+ person city populated by 18-35 year olds with essentially not a lot of rules that model would have way more than a 1 death per 80,000, per weekend average, so I think we do pretty darn good on the whole.

The last I heard, the cause of death for the single fatality in 2009 was "undetermined." The common assumption was the death was recreationally related, which if true would have shown in the toxicology report. Young people in their 20s are generally pretty healthy, i.e. it takes something major to kill them. Something *that* major should leave a trace.

^Not really, the 05 death, was sleep apnea, the 06 was a auto accident, the 07, was a heat stroke, 08 had none, and last year I have never heard of a cause, but considering it happened Monday morning, I am willing to bet that exhaustion had at least something to do with it.

Hey now, there's nothing in the rules that says Death can't take a weekend off and come to bonnaroo to hang out with us! Apparently he's there now, getting a jump on those Wonder Waffles I'd imagine!

Exhaustion is a given at 'Roo, and it no doubt aggravates any preexisting medical condition. All the deaths you cite left a trace, at least enough of a trace to get listed as a cause of death; except in '09. And, that's what I'm saying, the majority of things that can kill a healthy person in their 20s are gonna leave a mark. As far as we know by statements made public, the cause of the death in '09 was undetermined. Most likely his family didn't want the cause made public.
;D
