A 35-year-old woman has died after being found unconscious at this weekend's Boomtown Fair festival. 

According to the BBC, the 31-year-old woman was attending the Winchester festival with her husband, before she was found unconscious in a toilet block at around 2pm on Saturday (9 August, 2014).

She was taken to hospital but died shortly after arrival. The toilet block she was found in was cordoned off for police to investigate the scene, but her death is not believed to be suspicious at this stage.

A statement from Hampshire Police said: "It is too early to speculate on cause of death, and a post-mortem examination will be conducted in due course to help determine this.

"Police are providing support to her family including her husband, who was at the festival with her."

A festival spokesman added: "BoomTown fair would like to express their sincerest condolences to the family of the young woman who was found unconscious on site but despite the efforts of all our staff involved she was later pronounced dead shortly after arriving at Winchester hospital. 'Our thoughts are with all her loved ones at this tragic time and the festival is doing all it can to assist those involved."
