The cause of death is yet to be determined.
The deceased has been identified as Jane Saksham, an Indian national. He collapsed while attending the Electric Daisy Carnival Thailand 2026 (EDC Thailand) music festival and was later declared dead at a hospital.
Local media reports said initial investigations found no visible injuries on his body.
