A man aged 24, from Stonehaven, near Aberdeen, collapsed at around midnight at the T in the Park festival, as he made his way from the main area towards the campsite. He was pronounced dead at the scene despite attempts by the emergency services to resuscitate him.

The death came as tens of thousands of music lovers get ready to enjoy the sounds of some of the world’s top bands on the second day of the festival. Organisers expect 85,000 people a day to attend the festival in Balado, Kinross-shire over the weekend.

There are around 450 officers policing the event, with plain clothes officers and specialist drugs dogs part of the team. It is not yet known if the man was drugged or not.
