Authorities in northeast Kansas are investigating the death of a 20-year-old man at a campground where a country music festival is being held.
Pottawatomie County Sheriff Greg Riat said Thursday that
security at Tuttle Creek State Park called his office Wednesday
after the man was found unresponsive at the campground. He said the
victim died on the way to the hospital.
Riat said no foul play is suspected but a death investigation is
under way, and an autopsy is planned. The victim’s name has not
been released.
Thousands of country music fans have begun arriving at the park
for the four-day Country Stampede, which opens Thursday.
This year’s opening-night headliner is Miranda Lambert. Other
stars on the schedule include Keith Urban and Montgomery Gentry.
