Hollywood star Jamie Lee Curtis, who starred in “Halloween” slasher films, offered her condolences to the victims of the crowd crush in Itaewon, Seoul that left 154 dead and 116 injured.
Itaewon, a multicultural district lined up with numerous bars and restaurants, mostly situated in narrow alleys, was the scene of a horrific tragedy as crowds gathered to celebrate Halloween on Oct. 29.
As thousands of people crammed an alley, a crowd crush ensued that left scores dead and injured, described as the worst in Korean history since the Sewol ferry sinking in 2014.“A terrible tragedy in Seoul. The loss of so many young people enjoying the freedom to celebrate together again. As we gather on our own groups, in our own ways on Halloween, hold them and their families near,” Curtis posted on Twitter.
According to Korea’s Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the police are trying to identify the 154 who died through fingerprints and family statements and list them by nationality, address and gender. Out of the total deaths, 98 were female and 56 were male. A total of 102 had addresses in metropolitan areas such as Seoul and Gyeonggi .
