Love Parade death toll rises again
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 29 July 2010
The death toll from the crowd surge disaster at last weekend’s Love Parade dance music festival has risen to 21 after another festival-goer seriously injured in the incident died from her injuries. The 25 year old woman died on Tuesday night.
As previously reported, 21 died and hundreds more were injured when a crowd of people stampeded at the entrance to the free music event in the West German city of Duisburg. Local police have launched a criminal investigation into the circumstances that led to the tragedy, while organisers of the festival have said they will not stage the event again.
