Ezra Blount, believed to be the Astroworld tragedy’s youngest victim, had attended the festival with his dad.
Ezra and his father, Treston Blount, were among a crowd of 50,000 who attended the sold-out Astroworld festival, which ended in tragedy after a crowd surge crushed concertgoers as Scott performed.
The boy sustained severe damage to his brain, kidney, and liver after being"kicked, stepped on, and trampled, and nearly crushed to death," according to the lawsuit filed by his family. In a GoFundMe created to cover Ezra’s medical bills, Treston recalled his final moments with his son. “I had my son on my shoulders awaiting Drake's stage appearance,” he wrote. “I began to be crushed until I couldn’t breathe. I passed out and I woke up and my son was gone.”
Ezra was discovered at a hospital in Houston where he had been admitted as a John Doe, according to Rolling Stone.I am saddened to learn of Ezra’s death this evening. Our city tonight prays for his mom, dad, grandparents, other family members and classmates at this time. They will need all of our support in the months and years to come. May God give them strength. RIP Ezra. st #AstroWorld
