The
third and final day of New York City's Electric Zoo music festival
was canceled Sunday after two concert-goers died and at least four
others were hospitalized due to drug-related causes, police said.
The
cause of death for the two Electric Zoo attendees -- a 23-year-old
male and a 20-year-old female -- is believed to involve the drug
MDMA, either in Ecstasy pills or in its
"pure" powder or crystal form, known as molly. Four
others remain hospitalized and critically ill, with the causes still
under investigation, according to Sgt. Lee Jones, a New York PoliceDepartment spokesman.
The
city recommended the electronic music festival be canceled after the
recent events, and Electric Zoo's promoters, Made Event, agreed,
Jones said.
Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for the city medical examiner's office, told
CNN an autopsy is scheduled for one of the victims and that she
expected to have more information Sunday afternoon.
In
a statement posted Sunday on the event's homepage, Made Event said
"the founders of Electric Zoo send our deepest condolences to
the families of the two people who passed away this weekend. Because
there is nothing more important to us than our patrons, we have
decided in consultation with the New York City Parks Department that
there will be no shwo today”.see more...
