A 29-year-old man had stopped breathing at the front gate of the festival, 775 N. 1415 Rd.
Deputies and Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical responded to the call but found the man deceased when they arrived.
He was later identified as William J. Pospisil, Key Largo, Fla., resident.
An investigation is ongoing into his death, but at this time the sheriff’s office does not suspect foul play.
The Douglas County Coroner’s office will conduct an autopsy, according to the release.
The second possible tragedy is the search for a missing festival attendant.
Robert Jensen, a 20-year-old, New Caanan, Conn., man, was reported missing at the Clinton State Park, June 20, according to a sheriff’s office press release. The search began Monday evening at approximately 6:30.
Jensen was last seen at 2 p.m. June 20, when he told acquaintances he was going swimming. The 6 foot 4 inch, 175 pound Caucasian male with reddish brown dreadlocks, was last seen wearing a white T-shirt with a colored collage of squares on the front, long dark shorts with corduroy patches, flip-flops and a Rastafarian-style hat, according to the release.
The sheriff’s office and the Kansas State Wildlife and Parks Department are searching for the missing man.
Anyone with information about the man should call either the sheriff’s office at 841-0007, or the Clinton State Park Headquarters at 842-8562.
