Playboy Fest Fans Hospitalized

Three adults attending the Playboy Jazz Festival at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles June 11 were hospitalized, one reportedly in critical condition, from apparent food poisoning.

Los Angeles Fire Department Battalion Chief Corey Rose told KCAL-TV an initial report of possible overdoses turned out to be wrong.

“We were called out here originally for an overdose but upon our investigation working closely with LAPD we found out, most likely, it’s food poisoning,” Rose told the TV station.

Friends who accompanied the victims to the event reportedly said the three had eaten prior to arriving at the Hollywood Bowl, according to KCAL.

Artists at the Playboy fest included Dianne Reeves, The Roots, Buddy Guy and more.
