ROTHBURY, Mich. (AP) — A man and a woman died at the Rothbury Music Festival in Oceana County.

State police Lt. Dave Roesler says the two people were in separate groups and had separate medical emergencies on Sunday.

Autopsies have been completed, but Roesler said Tuesday no cause of death was found. A toxicology report will be ready in three to four weeks.

Festival organizers tell WOOD-TV the woman was accompanied by a service animal and had a previous medical condition.

Roesler declined to release any identifying information about the two. The county medical examiner's office declined to comment.

Thousands of people descended upon the tiny village of Rothbury near Lake Michigan for the festival Thursday through Sunday. It included performances by the Dave Matthews Band and Snoop Dogg.
