Did anyone see that dude pass out during Dubconcious? Holy crap, he fell backwards, his head hit the ground hard, and his eyes rolled to the back of his head. Then a bunch of guys helped him out, he stood up and collapsed again. Then they tried to carry him to get help, he looked really bad. I don't know what happened to him.

Sheriff releases identity of Bonnaroo camper who died
By RACHEL STULTS Staff writer
MANCHESTER - The 25-year-old man who died Friday after being rushed from the grounds of the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival has been identified as Cody L. Conover of Lancaster, Ky., according to Coffee County Sheriff Steve Graves.
Conover’s friends alerted Bonnaroo’s emergency medical staff that he was in some sort of trouble Friday morning. He was taken from his campground site at 11:20 a.m. to United Regional Medical Center in Manchester, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Conover’s body is in Nashville, where it will be examined and probably undergo an autopsy by Medical Examiner Bruce Levy today to determine the cause of death, said Shawn Bates, medical examiner's investigator. Final lab reports may not be available for a few weeks.
There were no visible signs of trauma on the body, Graves said.
“There was no history of any medical problems and they’re waiting on the results from Dr. Levy’s office,” Graves said.
Conover’s parents have been notified and were traveling to Nashville as of 9:30 this morning, Graves said.
This was the first death reported during the 2007 festival, and the sixth Bonnaroo-related death in the event's six-year history.
I had heard there were two deaths but I guess the 2nd was a rumor. I got scared on thursday because me and my freind saw a guy being carried on like 5 people shoulders out of The National show and he did not look good.
i saw somebody od'ing or something out in front of the other tent during sasha & digweed as we were walking out. pretty scary shit hearing his friends yelling for him to come back. scary. i was camping in oddjob by the medical tent and around 5 a helicoper came down and airlifted someone cause it was loud as hell from the time it flew over coming down until it flew away.

i didnt see that but i did see some guy getting yanked out of the other tent, after s&d by some security and he was causing quite a ruckus, he did not want to go, wasnt close enough so i dont know if he was doing something bad/trippingout/ or what..
I was standing in the ice line when the med carts flew by and some girl was screaming he's in the tent. They pulled him out and flew by doing chest compressions. I guess it was that guy. What a horrible Bonnaroo experience :-(

but I guess 1 out of 80k is pretty decent odds?
I was standing directly behind that guy. He started moving like he was going to leave and then just fell over. I heard someone else nearby say he thought it was bad shrooms.
Biglou said a bunch of people passed out around/behind him at the Ween show. I didn't notice, I was having too much fun. It's nice having a personal bodyguard. ;D

I passed out in This Tent... I ran out of water and hadn't slept in a day or two, but then woke up and got some water later. I ate a couple fudgies and had a few perforated squares of goodness for lunch, toke a couple spleef, and pass out around 2 or 3pm around the front right side of the stage, next to this older couple. My heart was pounding pretty hard a couple instances, but I realized it was due to lack of hydration, so I stick my head in the sink. As Borat say, it was great success.
Eventually, I got tired of looking for friends I was supposed to meet, which is why I ended up eating that (nothing to do till the music started---probably not the best decision) so I went back to my tent. But I remember walking around, very confused, at one point.. thinking the hydraulic boom the guy was working on the fountain with, was a dinosaur.... as well as attempting to bounce and balance a frozen lemonade on my knee. I did this for about three hours.
I did think I saw this guy die on Saturday. It was a dread-headed dude, maybe in his 50s, passed out on the side of Woodland Road... either on the way back from Mule, or it was right before the Police came on (I had just got done watching Xavier and Keller and was on my way back).
When they come to take you down When they bring that wagon round When they come to call on you and drag your poor body down Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me

The one night (i think it was saturday night) i was walking back to my tent round 2 in the morning .. and we passed the big medical tent on the way. It's set pretty far back, and you cant get close cause there's a fence around it .. but me and my friend stop in shock cause we heard this guy SCREAMING at the top of his lungs in there like 'HELP ME' .. and then like 'FIND THIS GUY!!!!' .. "I DONT KNOW WHAT I TOOK!!' -- i dont know how he ended up, but it was scary as hell.
I was kinda afraid i was going to die there after the Tool show. Thanks to that New Jersey Cop and his girl for helping me out.
You didn't happen to be the one carried out and into the backstage area, were you? If you were... We thought you were dead. Thankfully whoever it was must still be alive!
I was buying ice all the way in the back of BFE from the farmer's that I think own that area and I saw a bunch of medics on 4 wheelers go into a camp site then come back out with this kid who I assume was dehydrated or something because it was only like 10 am. But they started to defibrilate the kid on a stretcher. Really kind of killed my buzz for a little while. It scared the piss out of me. I hate seeing stuff like that. I guess the kid was alright though since there was only one reported death, which makes me very happy. I thought for sure he was a goner.
