EDMONTON - Police are investigating the death of a 19-year-old man who collapsed at a rave early Monday morning at West Edmonton Mall.
The man is believed to have taken ecstasy, police said.
Detectives from the west division criminal investigation section are now searching for the person who may have given the man drugs.
Police were called to the Frost 2009 rave at the Edmonton Event Centre just before 4 a.m. and paramedics arrived shortly afterwards to transport the man to hospital, where he died at approximately 6 a.m. Two other men and a woman in their 20s, also suspected of taking ecstasy, were taken to hospital and released.
The 19-year-old attended Frost with three friends, police said. According to the Frost 2009 Facebook page, the licensed, 18-and-older event was an all-night party that began at 9 p.m. Sunday night and ended at 6 a.m. Monday. It featured more than a dozen DJs and was put on by promoters at Calgary’s Boodang Music Canada.
The man’s death is currently not considered criminal, police said. An autopsy has not yet been scheduled.
Police are asking for anyone with information about the incident to call the EPS Dispatch line at 780-423-4567.
