The 22-year-old man was rushed to a hospital in Gosford on Saturday but died a short time later, police told the Australia Associated Press. A man and a woman remain in the hospital after ingesting an unknown substance at the event. Drugs had been found in the stuffing of a barbecue chicken at the festival, according to the report.

Police said there was determination on the part of several festival attendees to sneak substances into the festival, which touted itself as drug-free. Durges were put into false compartments within Vegemite jars and inserted into the stuffing of a barbecue chicken, NSW police Acting Superintendent Rod Peet told reporters on Sunday.
