Boy, nine, dies days after crush at Travis Scott festival

Ezra Blount had been on life support in hospital due to severe brain and organ trauma since the show on 5 November.

He is the youngest of 10 concertgoers to have been killed after panic broke out during rapper Travis Scott's headline performance.

Hundreds of others were hurt when the crowd began to press towards the stage.

Attorneys representing more than 200 people claiming they were injured in the crush told reporters on Friday they were filing another 90 lawsuits against the promoters of the event.

Travis Scott should have stopped concert earlier, says fire chief

Eight people aged between 14 and 27 were killed in a crush during the show last weekend, and hundreds more were injured, including a nine year old boy who is in a coma.

And now doctors say a 22-year-old woman who has been in hospital since the concert, is showing no signs of brain activity.

The news comes after a Houston fire chief claimed Rapper Travis Scott should have halted the show more quickly.

Samuel Peña told NBC: "Everybody at that event had a responsibility.....From the artist on down."
