Horrible news to report.

9-Year-old Ezra Blount, who was placed on life support after being one of the people trampled at the Astroworld Festival, died from his injuries on Sunday, November 14.

TMZ reports that Ezra passed away at Texas Children's Hospital, making him the tenth person to die from the Astroworld tragedy. As it's been heavily discussed, the chaos ensued after Travis Scott took the stage. 

It's said that Ezra's father put him on his shoulders during the show but after passing out the young boy fell to the ground and became a victim of the stampede.

"The Blount family tonight is grieving the incomprehensible loss of their precious young son," said Ben Crump, the family's attorney. "This should not have been the outcome of taking their son to a concert, what should have been a joyful celebration. Ezra's death is absolutely heartbreaking. We are committed to seeking answers and justice for the Blount family. But tonight we stand in solidarity with the family, in grief, and in prayer."

Rest in peace to young Ezra and all the other Astroworld victims.
