“Our thoughts and concerns are predominantly for their wellbeing and privacy during this time,” the statement read.
“It is truly heartbreaking to lose some beautiful souls that we consider part of our extended family.”
“We have highly trained first aid, professional paramedics working 24 hours during throughout the festival and an on-call doctor onsite.
