FLORIDA- A man was reportedly found dead at the site of a music festival headlined by rapper Lil Yachty and Earth Wind & Fire, according to the Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office.

The man’s body was discovered on March 4, at the Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival, police said in a news release, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.

The Sheriff’s office said another “festival attendee located a submerged body of an unresponsive male in the water around noon,” the news outlet reported.

The body was identified as Steven Nguyen. He was last seen around 11:00 p.m. the night before by a ‘personal friend.

Police believe Nguyen died in an “accidental drowning” and don’t believe foul play played a role.

The concert, held on Friday, is a three-day music festival.
