Overview
- Hampshire Police were alerted by paramedics shortly after midday on Sunday, October 12, to two bodies in a parked campervan on Pound Lane in Burley.
- The victims were a 38-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man from Blandford Forum, Dorset, and next of kin have been notified.
- Organisers said the incident occurred in a private vehicle, was not connected to the festival, and police have indicated no suspicious circumstances.

- Friends and local reports have paid tribute to the pair, with some describing them as parents of four, and an inquest opening has not yet been set.
