The latest death is 9yr old Ezra Blount, who fell and was trampled during Travis Scott’s performance. According the the family, he was on life support for days due to brain swelling and organ damage. Ezra’s family’s attorney, Ben Crump, released the following statement: “The Blount family is grieving the incomprehensible loss of their precious young son. This should not have been the outcome of taking their son to a concert, what should have been a joyful celebration. Ezra’s death is absolutely heartbreaking. We are committed to seeking answers and justice for the Blount family. But we stand in solidarity with the family, in grief, and in prayer.”
