David Celino was thought to have taken a pill, according to police, who are now investigating his death following the incident on Sunday, August 28.
The teenager was thought to have taken a “grey or black oblong shape” pill on Saturday night, and was taken to the medical tent at around 10:16PM after falling ill before the West Yorkshire police were called to the festival.
Celino passed away in the early hours of Sunday morning after being taken to the hospital. Police are now investigating his death and are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
This is a tragic incident, and our thoughts are with David’s family and friends at this time. We would like to remind festivalgoers to be aware of the dangers of taking illegal substances and to seek medical help if they feel unwell.
