The death toll has reached at least 146 from the Halloween incident in Seoul’s Itaewon neighborhood Saturday night, according to the Yongsan Fire Department chief.
At least 150 others were injured in the incident, the chief added.
The causes of death have not yet been reported, but Yonhap News Agency reported that dozens of people suffered from “cardiac arrest” from the incident, citing fire officials.

Interesting. CNN is still reporting "unknown cause". |

They said a lot of them died from cardiac arrest, which made me think of some kind of poisonous gas. I would think being crushed in a crowd would cause you to smother, but maybe that’s part of the cardiac arrest.
What a tragedy. I remember that incident years back with the British football fans getting crushed up against chain link fences and killed, it was horrible.
