A Smashing Pumpkins show in Vancouver, Canada, has been marred with tragedy after a fan attending the date was reportedly crushed to death in the crowd.
The as yet unnamed 20-year-old was removed from the mass of fans at the band's show at Vancouver's Pacific National Exhibition Forum, with attempts to revive him at the scene failing and doctor's pronouncing his death in hospital. The actual cause of death is unknown, and doctors say they are unlikely to know how the man died until later today.
A venue spokesperson offered sympathy, saying: "Regardless of how it happened, a 20-year-old who came to enjoy a night of music is gone. It's extremely sad and very tragic".
The recently reformed Pumpkins have not as yet responded to the news, while Police have confirmed that there was no suspicion surrounding the death, with a spokesperson saying: "There was nothing to indicate there was any foul play or anything suspicious about his death". They also added that anyone at the venue, or anyone that has related information, should contact them.
