Sixth Person Dies After Stage Collapse

A sixth person has died from injuries sustained during a stage collapse at last weekend's (14Aug11) Indiana State Fair.

Jennifer Haskell, 22, died on Friday (19Aug11), according to local police reports.

Like the other five victims of the tragedy, Haskell was waiting for country music duo Sugarland to take the stage when storms brought the platform and lighting crashing down.

Many music fans were caught under the rigging as it fell. More than 40 people were injured.

Janet Jackson and Lady Antebellum cancelled their appearances at the state fair following the tragedy and Maroon 5 and Train's Thursday night (18Aug11) concert was relocated to a nearby site and turned into a memorial benefit for the victims of the stage collapse.

Sugarland are also planning to stage a memorial show to raise funds for the victims' families.
