PANAJI: The post mortem of 26 year old Karan Kashyap, who had fallen unconscious during the Sunburn EDM event at Dhargal and was later declared dead, has failed to ascertain the cause of death.
The Goa Medical College and Hospital that had conducted the post mortem has recommended that the chemical analysis of Viscera is required to know the exact cause of death.
A Delhi resident collapsed and died while attending the electronic dance music festival in Dhargal village in north Goa, a police official said on Sunday.
The Goa police spokesperson identified the man who died as Karan Kashyap (26), a resident of Rohini in west Delhi.
“The incident took place at 9:45pm on Saturday. Kashyap collapsed and lost consciousness and was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mapusa. He died while undergoing treatment,” the official said.
“It was revealed during inquiry with his friends that he…had attended the EDM party on Saturday at Dhargal, Pernem, in Goa. At approximately 9.45 pm, the deceased became unconscious during the event. He was immediately transported to Vision Hospital, Mapusa, by ambulance for medical treatment. Despite undergoing treatment, he passed away.” North Goa SP Akshat Kaushal said in a statement.
The 26-year-old lost consciousness during the ceremony and was taken in an ambulance to the private hospital in Mapusa, where he passed away. North Goa Superintendent of Police Akshat Kaushal, IPS, said his body was subsequently taken to the Goa Medical College and Hospital in Bambolim, where an autopsy was performed on Sunday.
Leader of the Opposition Yuri Alemao, meanwhile, has demanded that the State administration act to find the truth and stop future tragedies and has called for a high-level investigation into the occurrence.
After attending an EDM festival, another young person from Delhi passes away. To determine the precise reason of the death, the government ought to start a thorough inquiry. After learning about Kashyap’s passing on Saturday, Alemao remarked, “Let’s protect our next generation from these vices.”
EDM festivals are well known for their throbbing energy and exciting performances. It’s more than simply a music festival; it’s a sanctuary for partygoers and fans of EDM from all over the world, providing a unique blend of sounds, atmospheres, and camaraderie.
But in the political circles of the state, its location has frequently generated debate. The festival, which is well-known for its lively and exuberant atmosphere, has come under fire for its loud music, which some have linked to potential health risks, such as heart-related occurrences.
Tragic events occurred in 2019 when three festival-goers collapsed and died, sparking outrage from local politicians and raising questions about the event’s security protocols. Despite its appeal, there is ongoing discussion about festivals effects on public health.
