The festival organiser Michael Eavis spoke of his sadness over the death during a press conference later.
The 75-year-old farmer was told it was suicide - but police said it was still too early to say.
Mr Eavis said: “Apparently I'm told it was a suicide situation in the early hours of this morning. It was in the Winnebago area. It's very very sad - I can't say too much about it.”
