A man has died at the Glastonbury Festival in England after suffering serious burns, British police have said.
Avon and Somerset police said they were called to the festival site at about 5.20pm on Monday following reports of a man on fire.
The man, reported to be in his 20s, had suffered serious burns and was taken by air ambulance to Bristol’s Southmead Hospital.
A spokesman said: “He was transferred to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, where he sadly later died.
“The man’s family have been informed and our thoughts are with them at this time.
“Our inquiries are continuing but we are treating the death as unexplained and do not believe it to be suspicious.”
Gates open for the popular music event in Pilton, Somerset, on Wednesday.
The festival begins on Friday, with Muse, Adele and Coldplay all headlining.
