Clark county officials were investigating the separate death of two people who, according to the police, were in Las Vegas to attend the Daisy Carnival Dance Electric Daisy music festival.
Azmi Atassi, 33, from Flagstaff, Arizona, and Opkar Mahal, 39, from North Las Vegas, both died on Sunday, according to the Coroner’s office in Clark. The causes of death were still pending.
