Interestingly, one of the ten victims had a "contributory cause" to his death. Illegal drugs were found in his system.

According to the records, the combined toxic effects of cocaine, methamphetamine, and alcohol were a secondary cause leading to the death.

In this case, autopsies were performed for each victim.

In the aftermath of Astroworld, multiple lawsuits have been brought against the rapper with some seeking BILLIONS in damages.

Travis maintains his innocence, and has not taken fault for the multiple deaths and overall tragedy.

Earlier this month, Travis broke his silence on the November 5 melee.

Tragedy struck while he was performing at the end of the night, and brought Drake out. Several fans in the crowd were seen begging for the concert to stop.

“It wasn’t really until minutes into the press conference that I found out exactly what happened,” Travis explains. "Even after the show, you’re just hearing things. But I didn’t know the exact details until minutes before the press conference. And even at the moment, you’re like, ‘Wait. What?’ You just went through something, and it’s like, ‘What?'”

Travis continued to emphasize that he didn’t know any attendees had died at his show until that press conference officially began.

He also added that he didn’t hear fans call for him to stop the concert to address the chaos that was occurring. This is all while Travis revealed that he stopped the concert that night a few times, to make sure that his fans were okay.

“The thing is, people pass out. Things happen at concerts. But something like that. It’s just like…it’s so crazy because I’m that artist, too, you know, anytime you hear something like that, you want to stop the show. You want to make sure fans get the proper attention they need," he explained. "Anytime I could see something like that, I did. I stopped it a couple times just to make sure everybody is OK. I really just go off the fans’ energy as a collective. Call and response. I just didn’t hear that. I’ve got music. I’ve got my in-ears. I just didn’t hear that.”
