DALLAS, June 20 (UPI) -- A 19-year-old man died and dozens of others were hospitalized after suffering drug and heat-related health problems at a rave in Dallas, officials said.
Andrew James Graf, 19, of Argyle, Texas, died Saturday, and another 25 to 30 people were hospitalized for emergencies related to drug and alcohol use and heat exhaustion at the Electric Daisy Carnival rave at Fair Park, Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans told The Dallas Morning News.
"At one time there were at least 10 different rescue units responding to the event at once, with a number of emergency medical services supervisors and engine companies for manpower," Evans said. "The chaos finally came to a rapid stop when someone pulled a fire alarm around 1:30 a.m. and sent those that remained scattering."
A 15-year-old girl died at a similar Electric Daisy event in Los Angeles last year, the newspaper said.
