Third death linked to Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas

(Reuters) – A California man who traveled to Las Vegas for the Electric Daisy Carnival has died five days after being found unconscious, in the third death linked to the electronic music festival this year, a coroner’s spokesman said on Friday. Joey Saychack, 21, was taken to a local hospital on June 20 after he was discovered unresponsive at the Las Vegas-area home he had rented with a group of friends, Clark County Assistant Coroner John Fudenberg said. Saychack, who never made it to the music festival, died at the hospital on Wednesday, Fudenberg said, adding that a cause of death had not been determined. Fudenberg said Saychack of Fresno, California was the third person to die during the Electric Daisy Carnival, which ran June 20 through June 22 in Las Vegas.
