Meanwhile, law enforcement officials say they're working diligently to find out what went wrong Friday night during a performance by rapper Travis Scott, whose real name is Jacques Webster II.

According to some attendees, the tragedy unfolded when the crowd rushed the stage, where people were squished together to the point where it was hard to breathe. Although, some also speculate drugs may have also played a factor.
