The band has yet to comment about the death on their Facebook page, and official word about the fan's identity has yet to be confirmed.
A statement about the fan's passing was expected to be released by tour reps on Monday (July 16), but a rep contacted by MTV News had yet to respond by press time. As of now, the official word from the tour's Twitter is "With regards to today's events in Toronto, we will release an official statement on http://vanswarpedtour.com when we have all of the details." That message was posted on Sunday.
