4 dead at Faster Horses Festival; 3 were exposed to carbon monoxide
BROOKLYN, Mich — At least four people died while attending a weekend music festival in southern Michigan, including three men who likely succumbed to carbon monoxide exposure inside a travel trailer and a Croswell woman whose cause of death is still unknown, authorities said Saturday.
Two more men were in critical condition at a hospital from the same exposure, the Lenawee County sheriff's office said. The five men were in their early 20s.
A concerned friend called 911 around 1:30 p.m. when he had not heard from them during the Faster Horses Festival at Michigan International Speedway, 80 miles west of Detroit. They were staying at a campground in Woodstock Township.
"This tragic incident is being investigated as a suspected carbon monoxide exposure from a generator located very near the travel trailer," the sheriff's office said on Twitter.
