UC Irvine student who died after attending a rave in San Bernardino County last year fatally overdosed from the illegal drug Ecstasy, the coroner said.

The death of John Hoang Dinh Vo, 22, of San Diego, was the second since 2013 attributed to Ecstasy of a person attending a rave at the San Manuel Amphitheater in Devore.

Insomniac is a subsidiary of Live Nation Entertainment.
Vo was in his senior year at UC Irvine and studying biology.
