A nine-year-old fan died of his injuries eight days after the mass panic broke out at the ASTROWORLD festival.
A disaster
The third ASTROWORLD festival held in the disused amusement park of the same name in Houston, Texas, came to a deadly end. In the midst of the performance of Travis Scott, who organized the event himself, panic broke out in the 50,000-strong audience and ensured that countless people had to go to the hospital and eight fans were pronounced dead on site. The youngest victim was just 14 years old and is said to have been trampled to death.
“I am devastated after what happened last night. I pray for the families and all those who are affected by what happened at the ASTROWORLD festival, ”Scott wrote on Twitter, among other things. The rapper should also want to take over all the costs for all funerals and has since withdrawn from the public.

The number of deaths continues to rise
Nine days after the terrible reports that made the rounds around the world, the number of deaths rose from eight to ten fans. Ezra Blount was hospitalized that evening with injuries to his brain, liver and kidneys and placed in an artificial coma. But he didn’t wake up from this: on Sunday, November 14th, 2021, the nine-year-old boy took his last breath.
“My grandson sat on my son Treston’s shoulders when they went to the concert,” Grandfather Bernon told Blount CNN. “All the people crowded the area and he [mein Sohn] just couldn’t breathe anymore. All the pressure that had been placed on his body made him pass out and Ezra fell off my son’s shoulders into the crowd. “
