Man Confirmed Dead Following Suspected Drug Overdose At Beyond The Valley Festival

A 20-year-old man is confirmed to have died following a suspected drug overdose at Victoria's Beyond The Valley festival on Sunday. 

As ABC reports, the festivalgoer's death comes after two people were hospitalised from suspected overdoses at the Lardner event over the weekend.

Beyond The Valley issued a statement to The Music addressing the man's death.

"The Beyond The Valley family are saddened to report that a patron has passed away today in hospital after being airlifted from the site in the early hours of Sunday morning, 29 December 2018," the statement reads.

"The loss of someone with us during what should be a time of celebration is being felt deeply by everyone involved in our event. We are working in conjunction with the authorities as part of their investigation and therefore have no further comment at this time."

It comes after a 22-year-old male died after taking an "unknown substance" at Lost Paradise festival in New South Wales on Saturday. 

Meanwhile,  Falls Festival organisers sent a warning out to all patrons on Sunday regarding a "dangerous orange pill" being circulated around Australia.
