1 Dead, 1 Critical In Drug Overdose At Merriweather Concert

WASHINGTON -- One person is dead and one person is in critical condition due to an apparent drug overdoses during a concert at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md.

Twenty other concert attendees were also transported to a nearby hospital in addition to 50 citations issued for underage drinking and three arrests made at the all-day Mad Decent Block Party on Friday, Howard County police have confirmed.

Tyler Fox Viscardi, 20, of Raleigh, N.C., was transported by the Howard County Department of Fire and Rescue Services just after 9 p.m. He was pronounced dead a short time after arriving at Howard County General Hospital. Preliminarily, it appears his death was the result of a drug overdose. Officials are still working to determine what type of drugs were in his system.

"...As the summer concert season continues, police are urging concertgoers to attend shows safely and not to engage in illegal activities such as drug use and under age drinking..."
