At least four people have died while attending a weekend country music festival in southern Michigan, including three men who likely succumbed to carbon monoxide exposure inside a trailer, the authorities announced on Saturday.
Two other men were in critical condition in a hospital following the same exposure, the Lenawee County Sheriff’s Office said. The five men were in their twenties.
A worried friend called 911 around 1:30 p.m. after not hearing from them during the Faster Horses Festival at Michigan International Speedway, 80 miles west of Detroit. They were staying at a campground outside the festival grounds in Woodstock Township.

“This tragic incident is being investigated as an alleged exposure to carbon monoxide from a generator located very close to the trailer,” the sheriff’s office said on Twitter.
Separately, state police reported the death of 30-year-old Melissa Havens of Croswell.
The cause and manner were unknown, state police said, although investigators are looking for a suspect.
“The detectives want the public to know that there is no danger or threat to people who attend the music festival,” state police said.
According to a Facebook post, a candlelight vigil will be held Monday at Michigan Center Football Field to commemorate the four who died.
The three-day festival ended on Sunday. His headliners included Luc Combs, Thomas Rhett and Jason Aldean.
