22-Year-Old Died at Electric Love Festival in Salzburg: Autopsy Ordered

The Salzburg State Criminal Police Office has launched investigations into the circumstances and cause of death. Whether the unconsciousness and death of the young festival-goer are directly related to the intervention of the security personnel could not be determined by the police on Sunday. "Interviews still need to be conducted," a spokeswoman told APA.

Additionally, the public prosecutor's office ordered an autopsy of the body to clarify the exact cause of death of the 22-year-old. The Red Cross alerted crisis intervention staff for support.

20 People Medically Treated at the Festival

In total, the Red Cross provided medical care to around 720 people over the three festival days. Most treatments were for heat-related circulatory problems and minor surgical injuries such as abrasions and sprains, the organization reported on Sunday. The number of operations was within the expected range for an event of this size.

Each day, around 180 helpers were on duty, including about 150 rescue and emergency paramedics and up to three emergency doctors. The team was supported by specialized special units and a mobile command center on site.
