Authorities are investigating the deaths of four people on Sunday at a country music festival in Michigan over the weekend, including three men who were found dead in a trailer from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Emergency workers responded to the trailer after receiving a call around 1:27 p.m. Saturday about unresponsive people at a Woodstock Township campground during the Faster Horses Festival.

Five men in their twenties were found unconscious. Three of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene and two were taken to a local hospital in critical condition and treated for acute carbon monoxide poisoning, the Lenawee County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement from hurry.

Investigators said the appellant was a friend of the five men, who became concerned when he did not hear from them.

“This tragic incident is being investigated for suspected exposure to carbon monoxide from a generator located very close to the trailer,” the statement added. “First responders stress the importance of keeping generators away from camping areas, tents, caravans, etc. as well as the exhaust fumes of running vehicles.”

Also on Sunday, state police were investigating the death of Melissa Donna Havens, whose body was found early Saturday at the Faster Horses Festival.
