An Indian American student has died after being trampled at a rap music concert in Houston, Texas, when the crowd estimated at 50,000 jostled. Bharti Shahani, 22, died on Wednesday from injuries she suffered in the incident on Saturday, her family said at a news conference on Thursday. She was the ninth victim in the incident that took place during a performance by rapper Travis Scott at the Astroworld Festival at a stadium. A nine-year-old boy was fighting for his life on a ventilator on Friday.
“Nightmare, horror, barbarity and catastrophe. And that's what happened that night,” said her cousin Mohit Bellani, who had been to the concert with her and her sister. Doctors had placed her on a ventilator after a chaotic evacuation from the stadium in a bid to save her, but she died on the fifth day. Her family said that they were donating her organs.
