Bonnaroo has claimed a second victim: Christopher William Yoder, 24, died of hyperthermia early Sunday, the AP reports. Yoder had been airlifted from the music festival to a hospital, and officials are awaiting toxicology reports. "The safety of our patrons is our No. 1 concern, and we are deeply saddened by this,” said organizers in a statement. A 32-year-old woman was found dead at the festival last week; an autopsy is planned. (More Bonnaroo stories.)
