Man dies at Gatecrasher festival

Police say a man from Northampton died at last weekend's Gatecrasher Festival, with drug dealers arrested, and bad weather led to several acts withdrawing.

Police have revealed that a man from Northampton died at last weekend's Gatecrasher Festival. The body of the man, who is yet to be identified, was found in a tent covering one of the festival's smaller stages in the early hours of Sunday morning. A police notice displayed around the event, said: "While we are not at this stage linking the death to the misuse of drugs, intelligence sources, police and security operators have identified and arrested a number of drug dealers within the event". A post mortem is expected to take place this week.

Bad weather led to flooding at the event, which forced a number of artists, including Crystal Castles, Hot Chip and headliners The Chemical Brothers, to pull out.
