A Victorian man is dead just days after suffering a drug overdose at the Beyond the Valley festival in Victoria.
The 20-year-old from Mansfield died in hospital on Tuesday after being transported from the event in Lardner, east of Melbourne, in a critical condition on Saturday.
The circumstances surrounding his death are yet to be determined but it is not being treated as suspicious and police will prepare a report for the coroner.
Another man, aged in his 20s, at the same festival, was also airlifted to hospital after suffering a drug overdose and has since been discharged.
The Victorian death comes just days after the fatal overdose of 22-year old, Queenslander Joshua Tam in NSW at the Lost Paradise Music Festival at Glenworth Valley on Saturday.
Joshua Tam died after a suspected drug overdose at the NSW Central Coast music festival.

Police re-issue warning
The deaths led police to again warn revellers to steer clear of drugs in the lead up to Field Day in the Domain in Sydney on New Year's Day.
"There is a clear association with illicit drug use at those festivals and the worst outcomes are being seen at times," Acting Deputy Commissioner Mark Walton told reporters.
