Warped Tour release statement concerning fan death

The Warped Tour has released a statement following reports of a death of a fan at the travelling festival's Toronto leg.

Reports emerged late on Sunday of the passing of a fan during the Canadian show, and an official statement confirms the incident. It reads as follows:

"The Vans Warped Tour family is saddened by the death of a patron attending Toronto's concert at The Flats at Molson Canadian Amphitheater on July 15, 2012. The patron collapsed and was immediately attended to by security and venue medical staff. After attempts to resuscitate on the grounds, the patron was later pronounced dead after arriving at a local hospital. Out of respect for the family, we have not released the name of the patron. The cause of the death has yet to be determined but the Warped Tour and Molson Amphitheater staff are working closely with the authorities to investigate and determine the nature surrounding the incident and will make further details known as they become available. Our deepest condolences are with the patron's family and friends."

The entire Kerrang! team sends their condolences to all affected by this tragic incident.

"I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour"... R.I.P :(
