Brother seeks answers after California festival attendee dies from brain injury
David Granado Jr. died following a severe brain injury sustained at the Warped Tour in Long Beach, prompting his brother Alejandro to demand information from organizers.
At the Warped Tour event in Long Beach on July 26, concertgoer David Granado Jr. split from his brother Alejandro to view separate performances. Roughly ninety minutes later, David arrived at a medical tent on his own and was subsequently transported to a local emergency room around 8:19 p.m. Medical staff identified a severe brain injury and performed several surgeries, but the circumstances leading to the injury have not been confirmed.
Alejandro reports that the festival has not responded to his inquiries and that his brother's emergency contact was not informed after the medical tent visit or hospital transfer. He has publicly asked for witnesses or information to clarify what happened. As of Friday evening, festival organizers had not released any comment on the incident.
