Coroner Rules All Astroworld Victims Died From Compression Asphyxiation

The 10 people who passed during Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival in Houston last month accidentally suffocated, the Harris County medical examiner ruled on Thursday.

The victims died of compression asphyxia due to the crowd rush that happened at the festival. More than 300 people were injured during the festival and 25 were hospitalized. Travis Scott is facing a number of lawsuits over the safety of concertgoers and failure to stop the performance while attendees were screaming for help.

“This re-opens a fresh wound for many families who are still trying to make sense of what happened," said Harris County's top executive Lina Hidalgo.
