A medical expert said the pressure from the crowd surge was so great that it quickly squeezed all the air from the victims’ lungs, causing them to pass out within a minute or so and die because critical organs were depleted of oxygen.

“I want this task force to resolve concerns of parents throughout our region, that if they’re coming to an event, whether inside the county or inside the city, that they know that there has been a great deal of thought put into the safety and well-being of all attendees at these respective events,” Garcia said.
