The death of a well-liked bank worker has renewed calls to swap policing for pill testing at music festivals.
Kieran Ngo, 26, died from a suspected drug overdose after attending Transmission Music festival in Sydney.
The large-scale indoor trance festival at Sydney's showgrounds on Saturday was attended by more than 18,000 people.
Of the dozen taken to hospital for treatment relating to drug use, seven required intubation.
Mr Ngo, a senior retail lending associate at Commonwealth Bank, attended hospital of his own accord, about 1.30am on Sunday and died a short time later.
"We are shocked and saddened by the news of the death of our valued staff member, Kieran," a bank spokesperson said.
"He was a well-liked member of our team and we pass on our condolences to his family and friends."
Police said they were investigating Mr Ngo's death, as well as the widespread drug supply in the festival grounds.
Six men aged between 19 and 33 have been charged with drug supply offences after they were caught with MDMA, including an Oran Park man behind bars for allegedly having 253 MDMA tablets on him.
As a high-risk event under the Music Festivals Act 2019, the festival was attended by police, security officers, paramedics and other medical professionals.
Greens MP Cate Faehrmann said it was tragic to hear of another death there, years after a coroner called for medically-supervised drug checking to be introduced in NSW, including at music festivals.
After listening to police, medical experts, promoters and attendees, coroner Harriet Grahame called on the government to focus on harm minimisation, rather than policing personal drug use.
The inquest heard that policing at music festivals led to attendees swallowing pills at the gate or rolling the dice with unknown dealers inside the festival grounds.
"It's unacceptable that the government has sat on its hands and refused to implement the key recommendations from that inquiry, and heartbreaking that there's been another potentially avoidable death," Ms Faehrmann said.
"I'm calling on all sides of politics to work together and listen to the expert evidence about how to save lives."
The coalition government implemented some recommendations from the 2019 inquest, including pill amnesty bins at music festivals and having NSW Health issue warnings when it discovers pills with unsafe substances.
