The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the investigation. CNN is reaching out to authorities for comment regarding The Wall Street Journal's reporting.
It could take up to several weeks before ruling on causes of death, said Michele Arnold, a spokesperson for the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office. "They passed out. And they were on the ground and basically getting trampled. And no one would pick them up," concertgoer Billy Nasser told CNN's Chris Cuomo on Monday. "There was just too many people there. It was overcrowded. The way the barricades were set up had people trapped in. It was a death trap."More attendees are bringing lawsuits in relation to what happened at the festival, with at least 18 actions filed in Harris County District Court as of Monday evening.
Other lawsuits allege serious injuries from being "trampled" during the crowd crush as well as "emotional distress."
