A 20-year-old woman was found unresponsive in the campground at Firefly Music Festival in Delaware on Sunday Morning.

According to ABC News' WPVI-TV affiliate in Delaware, the woman was found at her campsite at 6:30 a.m. and treated by medical staff before being taken to nearby Bayhealth Kent General Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death, which is currently unknown. The Dover Police Department did rule out the possibility that the death was the result of foul play, however.

The four-day music festival has yet to publicly respond to the news and Sunday's performances continued without delay or cancellation. Taking place at The Woodlands in Dover, Delaware, Sunday evening's performances include Kendrick Lamar, SZA, MGMT, and Odesza.

This news comes a week after a man was found dead at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee. Bonnaroo organizers sent Complex a statement that read, "At 10:05 a.m. this morning, patrons approached the medical team in Plaza 6 requesting medical assistance for a 35-year-old male patron in his car. The medical team responded immediately and found him unresponsive upon arrival. The Coffee County Medical Examiner’s office later pronounced him dead. Our understanding is that his car was running and the heat was on, but cause of death has not been determined." No foul play was suspected.

Earlier Sunday morning, at least one person died and twenty people were injured during a shooting at a 24-hour art festival in Trenton, New Jersey. At 2:45 a.m., 32-year-old suspect Tahaij Wells opened fire on 23-year-old Amir Armstrong, who returned fire. Among those injured was a 13-year-old child who is currently in extremely critical condition.
