This is very sad and maybe more first aid safe would have made a difference however the young adults need to take some responsibility too. Don’t take party drugs, surely its possible to have fun without them

this is utterly tragic – my heart breaks for the family

Deepest sympathy to the family he was taken way to young. I don’t know why our kids need these party Drugs at these festivals just being there with your mates and having a great time should be a high enough for these kids. They need to have eachothers back and say No to Drugs at these events. Come on kids use your brains say NO

So sad, there needs to be more done about drugs they are everywhere, and it worries me for when my kids are older as it’s bad enough now.

Very sad. I hope some good comes off this young guys death. It seems to be happening more and more often

My sympathy. A bad choice shouldn’t be so final.

oh yeah! the kids need to feel like they can ask for help without judgement or fear of the consequences. Hopefully this won’t happen again but realistically, it probably will.

So tragic, so young. There does need to be more first aid presence at these events.

How sad to see a young life cut short in this way. Thinking about and praying for the family as they through a period of shock and grieve.

Lke gd

Sympathy to this mum and her family. An unimaginable horror for any mum.

So tragic! So very sad! My heart goes out to his family and especially his mum…

Very tragic, and very, very sad. I feel so sorry for this family and all other families that have lost their loved ones in similar circumstances. This should never ever happen again.

How immensely sad I am for this family.
Fighting drugs with prison, isn’t going go solve anything. A large part of the draw is the risk and the fact that it is illegal. It’s naughty, so it drives their rebellion to mess around with drugs. Gives them their adrenaline hit, and a ‘stuff you’ to authority. Take away that, and they won’t be so interested. Plus, the government would make a fortune if it was legalised, and we could make them a hell of a lot safer

Deepest sympathy to Stefan’s family, thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.

It’s such a sad story! Dying so much! This shouldn’t have happened!

I feel so sorry for this family and other families that have lost their children in similar circumstances. I do believe there needs to be a major shift in our cultural thinking when it comes to drugs and alcohol.

  There most certainly does need to be a change in culture.

Extremely sad for this family. I really do feel for them. With such a over saturation of music festivals these days & what appears to be easy access to ‘party’ drugs its sad to say but we might start seeing these tragedies a lot more. Its true we cannot shelter our kids, nieces, nephews and also our friends form this reality – but hope that we love each other enough to have each others backs and seek help and assistance at the first signs of distress.

We’re hearing this too often now…..very, very sad to the families involved.

Such a sad story and one that unfortunately is becoming more familiar from these music festivals. There definetly needs to be a shift in young people’s attitude toward these deadly drugs. Thoughts with the family and friends.
