A 33\u2011year\u2011old Burpengary man, who was also injured, was taken to Gympie Hospital and placed under police guard. He was in a stable condition.<\/p>\n

The property had publicly claimed it would be \u201cclosed\u201d for a weekend of \u201cR & R\u201d, but drone images showed a sprawling neon\u2011lit crowd of hundreds at a two\u2011day festival called Rhythm of the Wild. <\/p>\n

On Saturday, organisers announced the event had been shut down.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with great sadness that we announce the cancellation of Rhythm of the Wild,\u201d a post on the festival\u2019s Facebook group read.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to the tragic passing of a valued member of our community, we ask that nobody comes to the property unless specifically requested.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attendees were told to leave quietly and respectfully.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you are able to leave, and it is safe for you to do so, we ask that you begin making your way off the property\u2026 there is to be no music or other activities taking place on site,\u201d the post said.<\/p>\n
