Bad news at Vans Warped Tour 2012 (Toronto)

Yesterday’s Vans Warped Tour 2012 was a day of extreme heat, sunshine, quick moving storm clouds and a chaotic mess (during the storm) at The Flats @ Molson Canadian Amphitheatre. Sadly a fan collapsed during the festival and was pronounced dead. As I was leaving in the midst of what seemed like a monsoon rain storm I’m pretty sure I saw this fan being rushed out on a stretcher with many people screaming to get out of the way. I hope the best for the family and friends she left behind and hopefully they find out the cause.

Photos of the day will be posted this week! So stay tuned to the site and check them out.

Here’s a post from Alternative Press regarding the situation:

Toronto news outlets are confirming the death of a fan who collapsed this afternoon at the Molson Amphitheatre stop of the Vans Warped Tour.
