The Miami New Times is reporting that a 21-year-old male by the name of Adonis Escoto was found dead in a vehicle parked near the Ultra Music Festival on Saturday night. While there is no confirmation on his cause of death at this time, his friends believe that something was put into his drink. They state that Escoto didn't take drugs. Reports say that Escoto said he felt sick while attending Ultra on Saturday and his friends, thinking that he'd had too much to drink, put him in their car so he can sober up. When they returned to the vehicle, Escoto was in the car, dead. And while there is no indiciation that this might be the case, it sounds eerily similar to the situation last year where an Ultra attendee drank antifreeze-laced water and almost died.

There are no comments coming from organizers at Ultra, and as of press time there is no report on how Escoto's death is being investigated. His family is asking for their privacy.
