A young bank employee passed away, and 12 other people were sent to the hospital right afterward after allegedly overdosing on drugs at an electronic music festival.
At the Sydney Showground’s Transmission Festival, a sizable indoor trance music festival, on Saturday, 26-year-old Keiran Ngo started to feel queasy. At around 1:30 on Sunday morning, he drove himself to Bankstown Hospital, where he tragically passed away a short time later.
Around three in the morning, police were called to Bankstown Hospital to look into Mr. Ngo’s death.

Following their discovery of MDMA, the police detained and charged six individuals, ages 19 to 33, with drug supply offenses.
