According to reports from authorities and testimonies from several festival attendees, Haddon had committed suicide hours after he stage-dived into the crowd during a performance causing a female audience member to be severely injured in her back. Investigators have received information that Haddon might have been scared that he crippled the girl so he committed suicide.
Other audience members who have witnessed the stage-dive reported that Haddon did not mean to hurt anyone. The people in the pit ran away instead of catching him because they were caught off-guard. This is the reason why his stage-dive had gone wrong and resulted in the girl’s injury, who was not able to run away. Some of the witnesses also added that Haddon felt bad after seeing the injured fan.
After the performance, Haddon then had an argument with his band members. Hours after, his body was seen in the parking lot below the mast.
The injured audience member has a broken leg and broken vertebrae but is expected to have a full recovery.
