Police investigation
Althoff says he is not yet aware of a police investigation into the circumstances of the boy’s death. “Of course it’s good if they do.” Like all festivals in the Netherlands, Dance4Liberation also has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to narcotics.

According to a spokesperson for the East Netherlands police, the investigation focuses on the possible use of narcotics. “It doesn’t have to be that way. We are still investigating the matter. In such a case, we want to be able to rule out that someone can be held responsible for the death.”
