Young Woman Collapses and Dies at Vans Warped Tour
A crowd during the 2012 Vans Warped TourA young woman collapsed and died at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto during the Vans Warped Tour show yesterday, the Toronto Star reports.
According to EMS officials, the woman was found by other concertgoers lying on the grass and not breathing. A 911 call was made around 12:40 pm and witnesses attempted to revive her through CPR. When paramedics arrived the woman did not have a pulse; she was immediately transported to Toronto Western hospital where, according to police, she was pronounced dead.
Following the woman's collapse, the concert area was cleared and moved towards a covered venue. Attendees were told the move was for weather concerns. No official cause has been given, but as MTV points out, police said it was most likely related to a medical condition.
Concert attendees reportedly started tweeting the woman's identity following the incident, though there has been no official confirmation.
The collapse reportedly occurred during a set by hardcore act Chelsea Grin, who tweeted yesterday: "Our hearts go out to the person who died today. We still don't know everything that happened but it's no time for jokes on our page."
The Vans Warped Tour has yet to release an official statement, though on Sunday the tour wrote on Twitter that details would be forthcoming on vanswarpedtour.com.

Drake: I Did Not Promise 'Marvin's Room' Woman Money
Drake performs at UNO Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana.Drake has responded to a lawsuit from a woman claiming royalties for his hit song "Marvin's Room," saying that he doesn't think she is owed anything for her contribution to the song. According to the rapper's official legal papers, Ericka Lee – the woman whose voice can be heard as a voicemail recording on the track – "consented to the use of her voice in the song 'Marvin's Room' for no compensation."
Drake has also denied Lee's claims that the two had a romantic relationship and that he threatened her over her complaints about not being paid for the song. A representative for Drake responded to Lee's suit last month, saying it was "entirely without merit."
According to papers filed by Lee in Los Angeles in February, she and Drake had a romantic and business relationship between early 2010 and mid-2011. Lee claims the two traded poems and lyrics over the course of their relationship and discussed collaborative projects, including the song "Marvin's Room." According to Lee, she was originally intended to record a hook for the track and perform a monologue that would frame the lyrics. Lee is seeking a co-writing credit for the song as well as undisclosed damages.
