SAN FRANCISCO -- A man was found dead in Golden Gate Park during the Outside Lands Music Festival Sunday afternoon, according to authorities.
Police officers responded to reports of a fatality at a location on Nancy Pelosi Dr. behind the California Academy of Sciences at around 1:17 p.m.
According to reports, the man had been removed from a portable restroom by first responders from the San Francisco Fire Department a few minutes after 1 o'clock. The medical examiner was called to the scene to conduct an investigation, police said.
A preliminary investigation showed no signs of foul play, according to police. However, the investigation is still open and active.
