BROOKLYN, Mich. (FOX 2) - The death of a woman at Faster Horses Festival over the summer was ruled an accident, police said.

Melissa Donna Havens, 30, was found dead the morning of July 17 at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn.

After the death of the Croswell woman, police had been looking to speak with a man she was seen with. However, police said Friday that there were no signs of foul play.

Three other festivalgoers also died accidentally.

Dawson Brown, Richie Mays Jr, and Kole Sova were at a campground during the country music fest when a generator filled their trailer with carbon monoxide, killing them.
