Two Tourists Pronounced Dead at Electric Daisy Carnival in Phuket

Tragedy struck the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in Cherng Talay, Phuket, as two tourists—an American and a Canadian—were pronounced dead after suddenly losing consciousness during the event. The festival, held at the Boat Avenue Lakefront from January 17 to 19, attracts electronic dance music enthusiasts from around the world.

The first incident occurred on the evening of Saturday, January 18, when Mr. Sharfaraz, a 28-year-old Canadian, collapsed during the concert. Emergency responders transported him to Thalang Hospital, but despite medical efforts, he was pronounced dead at 9:26 P.M..

Later that night, at around 11:25 P.M., Mr. Minh, a 32-year-old American, also lost consciousness at the event. He was rushed to the same hospital but was declared deceased at 12:30 A.M. on Sunday, January 19.

The Cherng Talay Police have launched an investigation into the causes of death for both individuals. Authorities confirmed that alcohol and drug tests have been conducted but have yet to release the results.

In a statement, police and event organizers emphasized their commitment to attendee safety, noting that the festival would continue as scheduled but with increased precautions.

The Electric Daisy Carnival, known for its world-class DJs, elaborate stage designs, and immersive experiences, has been a major attraction this year, featuring artists like Skrillex, Tiësto, and Afrojack.
