Warped Tour Toronto Death: 19-Year-Old Woman Dies After Being Found Unconscious at Punk Festival

My daughter works in the music industry so I know of these tours very well. All I can say is that I wouldn't want my 19 yr old,even if that's considered and adult,going to one ,especially if she was a girl.
It's pure crap. Not entertainment. The musicians, and I use that term loosely, are hardly worth making the trip for, not to mention dropping dead for and the environment reeks of lowlives. Please convince your kids not to go.

Having worked several Warp Tour shows. I would not be surprised if she died from heat exhaustion. Every year, we in security pull kids out from the show who have partied too hard and not drink enough liquids to keep themselves hydrated. Not saying this is the case here. Just will not be surprised that what I described happened.

19 years old is not a child and they must take ownership for themselves. They have to make their own choices and sometime they pay the final price. We cannot protect them from everything only teach them to take and be responsiable. This is a sad story but we still do not know the cause of death. It could be drugs or booze but she is an adult at 19.

How horrible! poor young girl, poor family! My son is the same age, if this happened to him I would be mortified. Very tragic. I don't think the commenters trying to put on a tough guy act would be making the comments your making if you had to bury your daughter at 19!!

That's sad, but not suprised it happened. I used to go to all day concerts, and it can be brutal. The weather is hot and kids don't drink enough water to combat it. Not to mention kids who are diabetic or have other health problems really need to keep themselves medicated, fed, and also hydrated. If you are a parent and your kid is going with friends, please make sure they are careful and have enough money for food and drinks, and they take breaks.

My son and his girlfriend went to it in Minnesota. It's hot out and the kids are not drinking enough water. Please push this on your children, friends and family.

Some people are missing the point. A young woman lost her life & her family & friends are greif stricken. It should matter what type of music it was. All you people asking punk is still around? And that passes for punk? Were you dropped on your head or something? It is about someone far too young losing her life. Thoughts & deepest sympathies go out to her family & friends. You other people yammering on about other bull is really ignorant & insensitive. Hope this never happens to anyone in your family!

Just because it was a 'punk' thing doesn't mean that it was drugs or anything. It doesn't make a difference what music you are into as to what you do. She most likely over heated like people do at these things. stop judging her because of the music she likes and just focus on the fact that a young girl has died. the people who know Taylor know she was a sweet girl and will be missed by all.

I'm not thinking drugs (as rose.fire says). I'm thinking more of trampled. Was she possibly trampled to death. I've been in the pit (as I call it) and it's very easy to get sucked down and stomped on and with so many people there they might not have even known someone was being trampled. I was lucky and thrown over the barrier on my head. Got a concussion but at least I wasn't stomped on.

These bands pass for punk rock these days? What a laugh.
