Became 10th at the age of 9 and the youngest victim of an Astroworld obsession-National

A 9-year-old Dallas boy became the youngest person to die from a surge in crowds Astronomical World Houston Music Festival.

Family lawyer Ben Crump said that Ezra Blount of Dallas died at the Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston on Sunday.

On November 5th, during a performance by the music festival’s headline rapper Travis Scott, Ezra was severely injured by fans and then fell into a medical coma.

He is the 10th dead person to participate in this festival.

Crump said at a press conference on Sunday night: “Tonight the Blunt family is grieving for the inexplicable disappearance of their precious little son.” “This should not be the result of taking their son to a concert. It should be a happy celebration.”

Ezra’s father Treston Blount described what happened on November 5 in a post on the GoFundMe page he set up to help pay for Ezra’s medical expenses .

He said that Ezra was sitting on his shoulders and the crowd was crushing them. Blunt said that his father lost consciousness, and when he woke up, Ezra was gone. After a frantic search, Ezra was finally found in the hospital, who was seriously injured.

According to a lawsuit filed by his family against Scott and the organizer of the event, Live Nation, the child caused severe damage to his brain, kidneys and liver after being “kicked, trampled and trampled, almost crushed to death” . The Blunt family is seeking at least $1 million in compensation.

The age of the other victims ranged from 14 to 27 years old. About 300 people were treated at the festival site, and 13 were hospitalized.

Investigators from the Houston Police and Fire Department said they are reviewing surveillance videos provided by the concert promoter Live Nation, as well as dozens of show clips that people have widely shared on social media. Investigators also plan to talk to Live Nation representatives, Scott and concert audiences. Scott and event organizers are now the focus of criminal investigations.
