Police say two people have been found dead at a music festival in southern Norway headlined by Alice Cooper.
The victims were found in or near a bus at the Festival in Kvinesdal.
"We do not know exactly how they died, but we assume they suffocated on fumes while they were on the bus," said police spokesperson Asbjorn Enoksen.
Six more festival-goers were taken to hospital after being found outside the vehicle, he told the AFP news agency.
Preliminary hospital reports indicated carbon monoxide poisoning could have been a cause.
All of the victims were believed to be Norwegian citizens in their 20s and 30s, Enosken added.
The names of the two who died have not been disclosed.
The Kvinesdal festival was established in 2006 and this weekend's events are expected to continue despite the deaths.
Motorhead and The Quireboys are the headline acts on Sunday.

Alice Cooper's music drove them to escape the festival on the bus!!! Should have just gone to party in the park....

What is with all the trouble at festivals?
I think we might be seeing more of the same when Rage Against the Machine headline Leeds and Reading Festival in August.
I hope I'm wrong...-
