Drugs Factor In EDC-Related Death, Says Father

A father from California says drugs contributed to the death of his 20-year-old daughter, who was hospitalized after collapsing in a parking lot at the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas.

The Clark County coroner in Las Vegas said Friday that Kenani Kaimuloa died late Wednesday, and that it'll take several weeks to obtain blood test results and rule on her cause of death.

Her father, Dane Kaimuloa of Temecula, California, blames heat stroke and dehydration, not drugs.

He tells The Associated Press his daughter attended all three nights of the electronic music festival at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and was waiting with friends for a shuttle bus about 6 a.m. Monday when she collapsed.

He says he doesn't want Kenani Kaimuloa to be remembered as a drug-user.
