Two women have been arrested after a man suspected of taking drugs died at Glastonbury.

The 24 year-old from Blackpool, who hasn't been named, collapsed early on Saturday morning in an off-site car park.

He received treatment at the scene but later died at the site's medical centre.

Police said two women were arrested and held on suspicion of supplying drugs, but the death isn't thought to be suspicious.

Overall, police said crime has remained low at the festival. By Saturday morning there had been 121 reported offences, compared with 196 in 2003. More than half of the 83 arrests were drug-related.
