Authorities are trying to determine the cause of death of an attendee at an electronic dance music festival in Las Vegas.

The 24-year-old man was among some 135,000 dance music fans who attended the Electric Daisy Carnival overnight after a record high of 113 degrees for the date was reached in Las Vegas on Saturday afternoon.

His name wasn’t immediately released.

Police say there were 408 mostly minor medical calls at the event over a 12-hour period ending 6 a.m. Sunday, and seven people were taken to hospitals.

They also report 26 felony drug-related arrests and 10 misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor arrests.

The three-day event ending early Monday morning features a lengthy lineup of DJs performing on elaborate stages amid a carnival-like setting of rides, pyrotechnic displays and art installations.
