Man Found Dead At Bonnaroo

Phish headlined two nights at Bonnaroo
The body of a white male in his twenties was found at Manchester, Tenn.'s Great Stage Park while workers were cleaning up after last weekend's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.

The body hasn't been identified, but workers found the man in his tent and the body has been sent in for an autopsy in Nashville, according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press newspaper.

"We don't know if he was a worker or someone who just lingered," Graves told the Shelbyville Times-Gazette newspaper.

Coffee County sheriff Steve Graves told the newspaper foul play was not suspected in the man's death, and it is believed the man was still alive as of 3 p.m. on Monday.

This isn't the first time someone has died at Bonnaroo. There have been seven deaths at the festival over eight years.

Last week, police intercepted nearly 36 pounds of Psilocybin (magic) mushrooms that were baked into about 500 peanut butter cups to be sold at the festival. Four people have been charged with possession of Schedule I mushrooms for resale, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
