Her death comes just days after a massive fire ripped through one of the stages on the festival site, just days before the festival was due to start, with harrowing footage showing huge smoke clouds engulfing nearby houses as fireworks went off. Pic: Shawn Hendrix/X
The inferno had almost completely destroyed the main stage, called 'Orbyz' Wednesday evening, with dramatic footage showing the moment the site exploded into a fireball, before a gigantic plume of smoke filled the air and fireworks exploded in all directions into the sky and over the roofs of nearby houses.
While the fire 'severely damaged' the main, ice-themed stage, no individuals were injured in the incident.
