On Wednesday (Nov 2), Reuters reported the death toll from the Halloween party crush late Saturday in Itaewon, central Seoul, stands at 156, with 172 injured, 33 of whom were in serious condition.

While there is no explanation yet from the authority as to why the crowd went into that one narrow passage, there are rumours about what triggered it.
