HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Bharti Shahani, the 22-year-old Texas A&M University senior who had been hospitalized after the Astroworld Festival, has died, becoming the ninth concertgoer to lose his or her life from the Travis Scott show six days ago.
The attorney of Shahani's family announced on Thursday that she succumbed to her critical injuries just the evening before.
Up until her passing, the young woman's family said she had been on a ventilator. She showed no brain activity shortly after her hospitalization.
Attorney James Lassiter also acknowledged widely-circulated video depicting a young woman on a gurney being dropped at the festival while she was being evacuated by medical personnel. Shahani was the person on the gurney, the attorney said without giving additional information on that moment.
"There have been a lot of questions, and I think it's common knowledge, but there was a video going around that most people have seen of a young lady falling from a gurney as they were trying to get her out there - evacuate her. That was Bharti Shahani," Lassiter said.
