Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival Death Toll Increases to Nine

Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival death tolls have now increased by one after a college student died on Wednesday, now resulting in a total of nine victims.

The last victim was 22-year-old college senior Bharti Shahani, who was studying electronics systems engineering at Texas A&M University and was set to graduate next spring. Shahani, who attended the music festival on November 5, was with her cousin and sister until the three split up amid the chaos caused by a crowd surge. “Once one person fell, people started toppling like dominos," Shahini's cousin Mohit Bellani explained to ABC's KTRK. "It was like a sinkhole. People were falling on top of each other."

Scott, who is currently facing several lawsuits, first addressed the casualties last week. As investigations continue, the rapper and his team have released a new statement, which can be seen below.

 “Over the last week, Travis Scott and his team have been actively exploring routes of connection with each and every family affected by the tragedy through the appropriate liaisons. He is distraught by the situation and desperately wishes to share his condolences and provide aid to them as soon as possible, but wants to remain respectful of each family’s wishes on how they’d best like to be connected.
