Texas Teen Dies after Attending Rave

June 20, 2011

Dallas officials say a teenager has died and more than two dozen others at a music festival were treated at hospitals for drug, alcohol and heat-related problems.

All were attending the Electric Daisy Carnival at Fair Park. Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans calls the event a “rave” for young people.

He told WFAA-TV the fire department took as many as 30 people to hospitals Saturday for drug, alcohol and heat-related issues.

WFAA-TV reports one of those was 19-year-old Andrew Graf of Argyle, who died at Baylor University Medical Center. The cause of Graf’s death is under investigation.

A 15-year-old girl died in Los Angeles last year after overdosing on ecstasy while attending the Electric Daisy Carnival there.
