Among the items found during the massive cleanup after Bonnaroo were:
- 1,647 cell phones.
- 1,210 single shoes. 3 pair.
- 314 tins of Skoal (159 empty; 155 containing negligible amounts of pot).
- The Holy Grail. And the much-less-known Jesus-attributed relic Crown of Ragweed.
- Their dignity.
- The last remaining members of the lost mud tribe of Pleasedontpublishthatphotomyparentswillkillme.
- Hasselhoff!
- Gogol Bordello (they live here year round in a gypsy caravan on blocks).
- Cave wall drawings.
- 1 body. White. Male. Mid-20s.
Workers cleaning up after this year's Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, held last weekend in Manchester, TN, discovered a body of a white male in his 20s in a single tent at approximately noon yesterday. According to Coffee County Sheriff Steve Graves, there is no reason to suspect any foul play involved with the death of the still-unidentified man, who was alive at 3 PM on Monday afternoon. No missing persons reports have surfaced to aid with identification yet, but more should be revealed soon, as the body was moved to the medical examiner’s office in Nashville for an autopsy Tuesday afternoon.
Bonnaroo, like just about any mammoth festival, has a history of attendee deaths, but not a long one. In 2004 a 22-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman died while attending the festival and a year later a 32-year-old Huntsville, AB man died of an apparent methadone-related incident. Details are sketchy about the body found yesterday on the Planet Roo site, but all involved hope to have some answers regarding the man’s identity and cause of death sometime today.
