Little Ezra, who was kicked and trampled at the Dallas festival, died of his injuries
A 9-year-old boy from Dallas became the youngest victim to die from injuries sustained during a stampede at the Astroworld Music Festival in Houston, which was headed by rapper Travis Scott.
Ezra Blount of Dallas died Sunday at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, family lawyer Ben Crump said.
The child was placed in a medical coma after receiving serious injuries in a collision with fans on November 5 during the performance of the headliner of the event, which gathered in one place about 50 thousand people, according to official data of the American television CNN.
The boy suffered severe brain, kidney and liver damage after being “kicked, trampled and almost crushed to death“, according to a lawsuit filed by his family against Scott and the show’s organizer, Live Nation. The Blount family is seeking at least $ 1 million in damages.
Little Ezra Blount is the tenth victim in the tragic incident. The other nine are aged between 14 and 27, reminds BTA. More than 300 people were injured in the crash.
Due to the tragedy, the event was suspended and the second day of the festival was canceled.
