The cause of death of a 22-year-old visitor to the Electric Love Festival in Salzburg on the evening of July 5 seems to be clarified.

According to a toxicological report, the German died from an overdose of the synthetic drug amphetamine, as the police announced on Monday. "However, the investigation is not yet concluded," explained the spokeswoman for the Salzburg public prosecutor's office, Ricarda Eder, to the APA.

22-Year-Old Died at Electric Love Festival

The 22-year-old man behaved aggressively on the last evening of the three-day festival, prompting security personnel to intervene. In the process, the German lost consciousness. Despite immediate first aid measures and the deployment of an emergency doctor, he died at the scene. Since most festival guests left the morning after the incident, questioning witnesses is not so simple. The public prosecutor's office has sent requests for questioning to the German authorities, who will then interview the witnesses.
