Person in critical condition as 15 people hospitalised after Mutiny Festival
Two people have died, one person is in a critical condition and another 12 people were hospitalised following the events of Mutiny Festival yesterday.
All 15 admissions to Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham were linked to the festival, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The spokeswoman from Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust said: ‘We had 15 people come to the hospital, of which we think were related to Mutiny Festival.
‘Two of them have sadly died and we have another in a critical condition, as well as another who remains in hospital.
‘Everyone else was in a minor condition.’
QA Hospital said that not all of the patients were admitted for drug-related issues.
The spokeswoman added: ‘It’s difficult to say how many were actually drug-related.
‘For example, this morning we had three more people come in but those were in relation to assault or intoxication.’
