MANCHESTER, Tenn. - A man attending the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn., was found dead in his car Friday morning, according to Coffee County Sheriff Steve Graves.

"We don't have a cause of death and the next of kin have not been identified, but he was found in a car this morning," Graves says.

He added that the high heat with temperatures in the high 80s, is the biggest concern.

"I just can't express enough how much people should stay hydrated and stay out of the sun."

The festival continues through Sunday night. See more coverage from the festival in Saturday's Times Free Press.
