They ranged in age from 9 to 27. Hundreds of others were injured, some of them seriously.Travis Scott has been criticized for his role in the tragedy. Some people have accused him of inciting the crowd to surge forward, while others have said that he should have stopped the show when he saw people in distress. Scott has denied any wrongdoing, and he has said that he was unaware of the severity of the situation until after the show.A number of lawsuits have been filed against Scott, Live Nation, and other entities involved in the festival. The lawsuits allege that the organizers of the festival failed to provide adequate security and crowd control measures.The investigation into the Astroworld tragedy is ongoing. It is unclear what charges, if any, will be filed against Scott or other individuals involved in the festival.In the wake of the tragedy, Scott has pledged to make changes to his live shows.
