In quite the freak accident, tragedy struck at the T-Bois Blues Festival in New Orleans.
A freak lightning bolt struck Jacqui Stavis's tent (pictured below) as well as two other individuals. The lightning strike immediately knocked her and her friends out. Jacqui, 28, was taken to a nearby hospital, but unfortunately could not be brought back to life.
The festival organizers took to the official Facebook page and said this:
‘The Falgout Family is deeply saddened by the tragic event that occurred this weekend at T-Bois Blues Festival. Every attendee of this small festival is part of the T-Bois family, and we feel as though we lost a family member this weekend. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Stavis family and all those who love Jacqui, as well as the others injured and affected by Friday night’s tragedy. But out of respect for all those mourning this loss we will take the next few days to reflect on the weekend and step away from social media. We thank every person who attended this year’s T-Bois Blues Fest in any capacity, and we hope to continue to provide a place for good friends, good food and good music.’
RIP Jacqui Stavis.
