Tough news late this week coming out of Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee.
Authorities and festival organizers are reporting that a 32-year-old man has been pronounced dead after he was found unresponsive in his car early this morning at the festival campground site in Tennessee (general Bonnaroo crowd pictured, above).

Authorities have identified the man as Michael Craddock.
No cause of death has been determined, though festival organizers say “dozens” of people have already been treated for heat-related issues at the festival. Per reports, the man’s car was running when authorities located him, and the heat was on inside the car.
A spokesperson for the Coffee County (TN) Sheriff’s Department confirmed police do not suspect foul play, while festival organizers released a statement to the media (below):
“The safety of our patrons is our highest priority, and our sympathies go out to his family and friends.”
Sad stuff, during what should be such a happy time for so many festival-goers and music-lovers.
Our thoughts and prayers, too, are with the man’s family, friends, and loved ones.
