Officials work to prevent drug-related deaths at concerts

MANSFIELD, Mass. (WHDH) -- Town officials in Mansfield were looking at ways to prevent drug-related deaths at concerts and events.

Some were pushing for double security measures to reduce underage drinking at venues.

Proposals included a sectioning off a designated parking lot for concertgoers 21 and older.

Two people died and twenty were hospitalized in July following a concert at the Comcast Center.

Drugs found at that event included marijuana, ecstasy, PCP, LSD, and alcohol.
