The death is not being treated as suspicious, and officers are carrying out inquiries on behalf of the coroner.

The festival, which is attended by over 200,000 people, is uncommon in terms of deaths.

In 2019, a 60-year-old security guard working at the event was found dead in his tent, and his death was not treated as suspicious.

The festival site covers an area roughly the size of 500 football pitches.
