Over the weekend on the West Coast, a 19-year-old passed away at HARD Summer following reports of over 100 arrests. On the East Coast in Toronto, VELD Music Festival was holding its third annual gathering of electronic music’s biggest names and the fans that crave their music. Tragedy struck again, as two individuals have passed away from what are believed to be “party drugs.”

Toronto Police have urged anyone who bought substances at the festival to turn them over to police, while the city’s homicide unit has launched a full investigation into the tragic event.
