A worker was killed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California when he fell while setting up for the festival.

Christopher Griffin fell 60 feet from a roof when he was working in the staging area setting up for the festival which takes place in Indio, California on the Empire Polo Club Grounds. His employer, Goldenvoice Media Group, promotes the annual festival.

“Today, Goldenvoice lost a colleague, a friend, a family member. Our friend fell while working on a festival stage. It is with heavy hearts and tremendous difficulty that we confirm his passing. He has been with our team for twenty years in the desert and was doing what he loved. He was a hard-working and loving person that cared deeply about his team. As our lead rigger, he was responsible for the countless incredible shows that have been put on at the festival. We will miss him dearly,” the company said.

The Riverside County Coroner’s Office and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are investigating the incident and trying to determine what led to the fall.
