HOUSTON, TX (WWJ) — More than a month after the tragic events at Astroworld Festival in Houston, TX that killed 10 people, their cause of death is now being reported.
The Harris County Medical Examiner's office ruled on Thursday that all 10 victims' cause of death was due to "compression asphyxia." All of the deaths were ruled as accidents.
27-year-old Mirza Danish Baig's cause of death was compression asphyxia, but the report also showed a contributory cause with combined toxic effects of cocaine, methamphetamine, and ethanol.
In the wake of the events, there have been many lawsuits filed against Travis Scott and LiveNation. Scott has offered to pay for the funeral costs of the victims, although the families have refused his help.
Hundreds of people were injured during the concert when the crowd of up to 50,000 rushed to the front of the stage while Scott was performing.
9-year-old Ezra Blount was the youngest victim at the event, and the victims' ages ranged from 9-years-old to 27-years-old.
The Astroworld Festival stage at Houston's NRG Park began to get torn down on Wednesday, 40 days after the concert on Nov. 5.
