BUENOS AIRES: Five people died and another five were
hospitalised in critical condition on Saturday in Argentina's capital
city Buenos Aires after attending an electronic music festival where
authorities suspect they consumed illegal drugs.
Initial toxicological results showed the victims had
consumed the psychoactive drug commonly known as ecstasy, hospital
sources told local daily Clarin.
The five victims who died at Time Warp, a music festival
originally from Germany, were aged 21 to 25. While the five people sent
to the hospital, including an 18-year-old woman, are in intensive care
and being assisted by an artificial breathing machine, according to
daily Pagina 12.
The second night of the music festival has been cancelled.
