Astroworld: ten deaths; no criminal indictment
Ten people died in the crowd surge at Scott's 2021 Astroworld festival. BBC News reported in June 2023 that a Texas grand jury declined to bring criminal charges against him. That decision and civil lawsuits are different legal matters; the 2023 article should not be treated as the current status of every civil case.
