Teenager dies at RockNess music festival in Scotland:
19-year-old from Edinburgh dies in hospital after collapsing in main area of festival
A teenage boy has died at a music festival in Scotland.
The 19-year-old collapsed in the main area at the RockNess festival on Saturday night.
The teenager, from Portobello in Edinburgh, was taken to the hospital tent and stabilised before being transferred to Raigmore hospital in Inverness.
Police said he failed to respond to treatment and died in the early hours of Sunday morning.
A Northern Constabulary spokesman said: "Early indications are that the man may have consumed drugs and this is one of the lines of inquiry at this stage.
"A postmortem will be carried out to determine the cause of death. His next of kin have been informed."
A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
Meanwhile, police named two men killed in a road crash involving a bus taking people to the festival.
A van driver and his passenger died of their injuries following a collision with a bus on the A9 at Ralia in the Highlands.
They are Mark McFarlane, 38, and Barry Murray, 28, from the Glasgow area, both painters and decorators.
The bus driver was airlifted to the Southern general hospital in Glasgow with serious injuries after she became trapped in the vehicle.
Fourteen passengers were taken to Raigmore hospital in Inverness for treatment for a range of injuries, none of which are life-threatening.
