Jefferson County Sheriff Pete Dougherty tells The Herald-Mail that a 26-year-old man was found unresponsive at the All Good Music Festival on Saturday night.

He says the man was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Dougherty says the death appears to be drug-related. Martinsburg-based Ryneal Medical Transport provided emergency services during the three-day festival in Summit Point.

Ryneal paramedic supervisor Chris Tennant tells media outlets that the company transported 18 other festivalgoers to local hospitals.

Another 230 were treated at the festival grounds. Dougherty estimated about 40 people were arrested on drug charges during the festival.
