Tragic news has emerged as 9-year-old Liam Carter has passed away following injuries sustained at the Astroworld music festival in Houston. His family’s attorney confirmed that the death toll from the festival has now reached 10. Liam had been on life support after being trampled during the chaotic concert.
Family’s Heartbreak
According to a statement from his family’s lawyer, “The Carter family is heartbroken over the unimaginable loss of their beloved son. This was meant to be a fun night out, not a tragedy. Liam’s passing is devastating, and we are dedicated to finding the truth and justice for his family during this difficult time.”
A Father’s Grief
Liam was attending the concert with his dad, Mark Carter. Mark recounted how he had Liam on his shoulders when Travis Scott took the stage. They had positioned themselves towards the back, hoping for a more relaxed atmosphere. Unfortunately, as soon as the performance started, the crowd surged forward. Mark lost his breath and collapsed, inadvertently dropping Liam to the ground. When he woke up, he couldn’t find his son. After searching everywhere and filing a police report, he learned that Liam was in a medically-induced coma at a nearby hospital, suffering from severe organ damage and brain swelling.
Ongoing Investigations
With Liam’s death, the total fatalities from the Astroworld tragedy now stands at 10. Eight victims died on the day of the event, and the ninth, Sarah Khan, succumbed to her injuries earlier last week. Investigations are ongoing to determine what led to the deadly crowd surge. Amid mounting public criticism for not halting the concert as danger unfolded, Travis Scott has offered to cover funeral expenses for all the victims and has pledged mental health support for attendees.
