A Slipknot concertgoer died Sunday, Aug. 11, 2019, at Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Illinois. He died after he collapsed after being thrust out of a mosh pit.
Richard Valadez, age 62, was moshing during Knotfest in the Chicago suburb. He was knocked to the ground and began to seize up. Initial confusion delayed medical attention. Valadez was pronounced dead at 12:34 p.m. ET, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The cause of Valadez’s death is not yet known, and the circumstances surrounding the incident are not clear. An autopsy is pending from the area’s medical examiner. Tinley Park Fire Chief Forest Reeder said that his department did not respond to the emergency call due to jurisdictional issues.
“The Fire Department was not present for this incident at the amphitheater as the emergency medical services are provided by a private contractor for any on-site emergencies.”
Attendees who interacted with Valadez offered some information regarding the incident.
“Basically. everyone was jumping around in the mosh pit having and good time and just being friendly roughhousing dorks, as usual for metal concerts,” reported Anthony Mackey.
When Slipknot started to play “Sulfur,” an hour into their set, Valadez was hit hard and fell out of the pit and into the grass. “He seized as people were trying to help him up, so we started calling for help.”
Another witness, Brittany Ruel-Curtis stated: “He seemed fine throughout the concert, though, enjoying the music and drinks and talking to the people who sat in front of me. [The venue] definitely should have handled things better: More emergency presence for one. And a better way for people to alert that they need help.”
Multiple witnesses said the crowd was thick and the confusing scene delayed staff assistance for Valadez. It took 15 to 20 minutes following his collapse for Valadez to receive medical attention. Two men were able to perform CPR on the collapsed man while at least one person pushed back on the crowd to prevent Valadez from becoming trampled. Other witnesses shined flashlights from their cell phones in an attempt to help.
“Overall the whole venue just screwed the pooch on the entire thing. No communication, no preparation, nothing,” stated Mackey.
Loudwire reported that in late July, singer Corey Taylor stopped Slipknot’s performance to control a mosh pit that was becoming too rough. He demanded that fans step back to allow those closer to the front to have more room.

When I found Dr. Paul I was in desperate need of bringing my ex lover back. He left me for another woman. It happened so fast and I had no say in the situation at all. He just dumped me after 3 years with no explanation. I contact Dr.Paul through his website and He told me me what i need to do before he can help me and i did what he told me to, after i provided what he wanted, he cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did his spell, my boyfriend started texting me again and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and he knows that now. We moved in together and he was more open to me than before and then he started spending more time with me than before. Ever since Dr. Paul helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before. I highly recommends Dr. Paul to anyone in need of help.

I am so happy today because of the great work Robinson buckler has done in my life for saving my family. I got married to my loving husband 3 years ago and we were living a happy life together and everything was moving on smoothly without any problem, 4 months later I went to the hospital for checkup and the doctor confirmed that I am three weeks pregnant with my heart filled with joy and my face full of smile and laughter I went home excitedly to tell my husband the good news and he was very excited about the news and that day is a day I will always live to remember, to cut the story short after I have put to birth a bouncing baby girl he was very happy, but along the line and all of a sudden he started keeping late night and doing things he don’t use to do before, and one mourning I confronted him about his new attitude but he did not listen to my advice, but to my greatest surprise I discover my husband have a mistress in his office place and they were seeing each other after work hour. on one faithful night my husband came back home and started packing all his belongings and told me that he is tired of me that he is filing for a annulment not knowing that his mistress has cast love spell on him that was why he was acting strange so I told my friend about what am experiencing at home she told me not to worry about that and she gave me this contact and ask me to contact him that he will help me to bring back my husband in noon less than one week but at first i doubted she told me that this doctor is extremely powerful that the doctor has work for her and she confirm him real so when I got home I contacted him and he told me that my husband is under a great love spell but he promise to help bring back my husband which he actually did within the period of one week. I was surprise to see my husband in the nest mourning bring back all the things he took out of our house and kneel in front of me and my kids crying asking for my forgiveness saying it is the work of the devil that he did not know what he was doing and I forgive him and today we are living happily together. i thank you sir for the great work you did for me for saving my family, in-case you have similar case or even worst than my own you can contact him with his EMAIL ADDRESS. robinson.buckler {@yahoo}. com
