18 Year Old Dies At Rock Ness Festival

Sadly, an 18-year-old man died yesterday (June 7th) at the RockNess Festival, held at Dores near Inverness.


Police said the man was taken for treatment at the field hospital by the Red Cross around 2.30pm, where it was decided he should be transferred to the Raigmore Hospital in Inverness. He then died at around 4pm.


Police have said no further information will be released until the next of kin had been notified. However, they are saying there are no suspicious circumstances.


This is the second death at RockNess in as many years, after 39-year-old Dundee man Paul Litterick died at the same hospital in 2007.
