DETROIT LAKES — For the second year in a row, a person has died during the 10,000 Lakes music festival near Detroit Lakes.

Becker County Sheriff Tim Gordon says a 17-year-old Wisconsin girl was found dead at her campsite late Friday morning. Foul play is not suspected, but an autopsy is planned. Her name is being withheld pending notification of relatives.

The sheriff says no other information will be released until the investigation is complete.

Last year, two men died of drug overdoses at the jam band festival.
