The court docs allege that Sasha Rodriguez attended the rave without her parents’ permission on June 26, 2010 and that while at the concert, she consumed MDMA, otherwise known as ecstasy.
Shortly after taking the drugs Sasha began experiencing symptoms of an overdose, "the over crowded and under staffed conditions at the EDC delayed the response of on-site security and emergency services by providers to her by approximately 20 minutes. During this time her condition worsened," the lawsuit claims.
