7 dead, 5 in coma after taking drugs at music fest
Home > World news Seven people in their 20s died and five between the ages of 18 and 30 are in a coma in Vietnam after taking drugs at an electronic dance music (EDM) festival in Hanoi on Sunday night. Officials are said to be scrambling to trace the mysterious substance that caused the unfortunate deaths and put several lives in danger.
The victims tested positive for an unspecified drug prompting officials to ban all EDM festivals in the capital. Investigations are going on as to who brought drugs into the venue.
This problem isn't peculiar to Vietnam alone with two Australians dying of suspected drug overdoses at an electronic music festival in Sydney on Saturday evening.
