One Dies and One Born At Illegal Rave in Italy
Some say that when one life ends, another begins. That is exactly what happened at a six-day illegal rave which took place at Lake Mezzano in Italy. A death was reported at the scene, along with the birth of a baby.
Four attendees were hospitalized due to drug and alcohol use, while a man drowned after jumping into a lake and did not come out. Police and firefighters found his body. In addition, local news sources report a baby was born during the event.
According to reports, officials suspect there were over 10,000 attendees at the rave. 2,000 rave-goers have been identified as guests at the event.
Since the end of the event, the area has been “liberated,” as the mayor of Valentano stated. There is no longer anyone at the site.
Attendees spoke about the conditions they witnessed during the event. Many report seeing dehydrated and starved dogs, along with alcohol-induced comas among other ravers.

“The situation is out of control, no negotiation is possible, public order must be restored, people identified and the responsibility for such a gathering must be established,”
