A total of 10 people were killed following a crowd surge at rapper Travis Scott's music festival Texas's Houston last month, and now medical examiners have released documents confirming their causes of death. In all cases, the cause of death was ruled as "compression asphyxia", with one victim also having another cause of death listed as "combined toxic effects of cocaine, methamphetamine and ethanol", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Compression asphyxia occurs when respiration is prevented due to external pressure on the body and is usually caused by force compressing the chest and abdomen. Nine people - Jacob Jurinek, 21, John Hilgert, 14, Brianna Rodriguez, 16, Franco Patio, 21, Axel Acosta, 21, Rudy Pea, 23, Madison Dubiski, 23, Danish Baig, 27, and Bharti Shahani, 22, were initially confirmed to have died after the crowd "began to compress" to the front of the stage during Scott's set.
