HOUSTON (Reuters) -The deaths of 10 people at a Houston rap concert in November were accidental, the Harris County medical examiner ruled on Thursday.
A stampede of fans at rap star Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival also injured scores among some 50,000 who attended the concert.
The medical examiner’s finding could have major impact on a criminal investigation into the tragedy, which has shaken Houston and raised issues about crowd control and security at entertainment mega-events.
