The parents of a 15-year-old teenager who died from a ecstasy overdose at the Electric Daisy Music Festival are suing the concert promoter for negligence and infliction of emotional distress, among other claims, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

Grace Rodriquez and Leonard Contreraras are also suing the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission, where the event was held.

EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENTS: Rave Girl’s Parents Suing Concert Promoter Over Her Death

The court docs allege that Sasha Rodriguez attended the rave without her parents’ permission on June 26, 2010 and that while at the concert, she consumed MDMA, otherwise known as ecstasy.

Shortly after taking the drugs Sasha began experiencing symptoms of an overdose, "the over crowded and under staffed conditions at the EDC delayed the response of on-site security and emergency services by providers to her by approximately 20 minutes. During this time her condition worsened," the lawsuit claims.

When Sasha finally arrived via ambulance to the hospital "she was non verbal with saliva bubbling at the corners of her mouth. Shortly after arriving at the emergency room she suffered a seizure and experienced an acute respiratory failure.

“She was intubated for the acute respiratory failure and admitted to the intensive care unit in a comatose state. Her condition did not improve," the court docs state.

Sasha's parents ultimately had to make the heartbreaking decision to take her off of life support. They are seeking unspecified damages.

She took Xtasy and snuck off to a rave.The parents had no idea where she was and what she was doing, but they are suing the promoters for negligence. Unbelievable. The concept of personal responsibility seems to be foreign to some people.

One of the biggest problems that our society faces right now is lack of personal accountability and the litigious attitude that many have. Bad things happen everyday and sometimes these things happen because the individual used poor judgement.

The Lindsay Lohan effect, the Queen of silly and frivolous law suits. They should be suing each other for allowing a 15 year old to go to a rave.

Plenty of rowdy teenagers dropped LSD at concerts in the 60's and their parents didn't sue the promoters or venues. Pretty soon with sue happy parents their won't be any concerts for teenagers to go too. Like playground equipment-

Such a sad story - however i agree with the other posters. she should have known better - and her parents should have know where she was - and about these venues. keep an eye on your children. regardless of age

What is your 15 year old doing at a rave anyway.....less suing, better eyes on your children. You can't sue and blame someone for your daughters death when she should have been in her room doing homework.

People are too sue-happy these days.....the responsibility is on the parents for allowing a 15 year old at a rave in the first place.....and on the girl for taking the drugs. No one forced them down her throat.

I'm sorry their daughter died, but really it's Sasha who's to blame for taking the ecstasy. She knew what she was doing; unfortunately people that age believe nothing can touch them.
