A man who disappeared on the final day of Chicago’s Riot Fest has died, reportedly due to injuries sustained at the festival. Stephen Shult, 58, was at the festival with friends and family who said they lost track of him on Sept. 22, after he’d left his group to get closer to Slayer’s performance. Shult was then located at a nearby hospital the following day with head injuries; he died on Thursday. While an autopsy was inconclusive, Shult’s friend Brian Soto told the Chicago Tribune that “based on all the scrapes and bruises on his arms and legs and the brain injury…he had to have been trampled.”
