Glastonbury Festival security guard found dead in a tent

A security guard working at Glastonbury Festival has been found dead in a tent.

The body of the man, who was believed to be working night shifts on site, was discovered at around 5pm on Sunday, June 30.

The ECHO understands that the man, who worked for security firm G4S, is not believed to have collapsed due to the heat.

A G4S spokesperson told the ECHO: “At 5:00 pm on Sunday 30 June, one of our employees was found dead in his tent at Glastonbury Festival, where he had been working as a security officer.

"The next of kin have been informed and our thoughts are with his loved ones at this difficult time."

The ECHO also understands the guard had not worked during the 24 hours preceding his death.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson said: "At 5pm yesterday we were made aware of the sudden death of a man in his 60s on one of the campsites at Glastonbury Festival.

"Officers attended and are satisfied the man's death is not suspicious. The coroner has been informed."
