Police are investigating the death of a 26 year-old man from Cornwall at a music festival.

The man, who hasn't been named, was at the Creamfields festival in Cheshire.

Officers were called to one of the festival's campsites on Friday (26th August) after concerns for a man's safety.

Police say he's yet to be formally identified and that they're awaiting results of a post mortem to establish the cause of death.

Cheshire police today (Saturday) released a statement urging people to enjoy the festival safely.

Officers continue to take positive action against those who risk others’ lives by attempting to bring illegal drugs onto site. The Constabulary wants to remind people that drug supply at Creamfields will not be tolerated, and officers will take robust action where necessary.
