A security guard working at Glastonbury Festival has been found dead in his tent, police have confirmed.
The body of the man, in his 60s, who had been working at the festival as a security guard for G4S, was discovered at around 5pm on June 30.
G4S was sub-contracted to provide 25 security officers at Glastonbury to ensure the safety of festivalgoers.
Avon and Somerset Police say the man’s sudden death is not being treated as suspicious.
It is understood the guard had been working night shifts at the festival and is not thought to have died due to the heat.
A G4S spokesperson said: “The next of kin have been informed and our thoughts are with his loved ones at this difficult time.”
The guard is not believed to have worked during the 24 hours preceding his death.
Police officers and paramedics were called to the festival after the man was discovered.
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.”
