2 die, dozens arrested at concert

MANSFIELD, Mass. (WPRI) -- Two people died and dozens were arrested at a concert Thursday at the Comcast Center in Mansfield.

Mansfield police say two men, 19-year-old Connor Brandon, of Acton, and 27-year-old Dominic Impelizzieri, of Syracuse, New York, both died after ingesting "copious" amounts of drugs and alcohol. Impelizzieri had been brought back from full cardiac arrest at the scene by EMS personnel but later died at the hospital.

The concert was the "Identity Tour," which police described as a "rave" concert.

Forty-five people were arrested at the Comcast Center: Ten for drug possession, 25 for being in possession of alcohol under the age of 21, three for disorderly conduct, one for domestic assault and battery, and five for fake driver's licenses. 21-year-old Alex Marotte of Springfield was also charged with possession of the drug known as ecstasy with intent to distribute.

Nineteen people were taken from the concert to area hospitals for "drug issues," according to police. A twentieth person was found laying in the road as traffic left the concert and was hospitalized, and police report a twenty-first person "stumbled out of the woods after daylight" and was taken to the hospital.

Chief Arthur O'Neill says that detectives continue to actively investigate the incidents at the concert.
