It is unclear how Jordan died, and there were no signs of a fight, drugs, or heat-related illnesses, NBC Miami reported. Toxicology results were still pending. The temperatures at the concert grounds had reportedly soared to 97 degrees, and organisers had warned attendees to stay hydrated.

‘Jordan was a bright and ambitious student’

Jordan’s friends have set up a GoFundMe to help raise funds for the deceased student’s funeral, and to support his mother Bethany Dawson. “It is with a heavy heart that we come together to remember and honor our beloved friend, Jordan Petrocchi. At the young age of 23, Jordan's life was tragically cut short, leaving us all devastated.
