A funeral was held on Nov. 23 for one of the youngest victims at the concert who was trampled to death during the deadly crowd surge. 9-year-old Ezra Blount was laid to rest after he succumbed to life-threatening injuries from the incident that included swelling on his brain and damage to his liver and lungs, ABC News reported.
His family is among 300 Astroworld concert attendees who have filed lawsuits with the help of civil rights attorney Ben Crump demanding for Travis Scott and the festival’s organizers Scoremore and Live Nation to take accountability. According to USA Today, the suit alleges all three parties of gross negligence with each seeking over $1 million in damages. Ezra’s family is also alleging negligence regarding crowd control, medical attention, and event staffing.
