32-year-old discovered in his tent

A 32-year-old man was found dead in his tent this morning (July 13) at the T In The Park festival.

The man's death is not connected to the earlier stabbing incident in the campsite, it has been announced.

The unnamed man was discovered by his friends, who immediately notified emergency service personnel, at around 11.50am (BST).

Despite the efforts of medical staff to revive the festival-goer, he was pronounced dead at the event's field hospital.

The exact cause of death is currently unknown, although it is not being treated as suspicious at present.

Police officers are currently informing the man's next of kin.
