"Germans investigate 20 festival deaths" by Associated Press | July 27, 2010
DUISBURG, Germany — German prosecutors are investigating whether negligent manslaughter was involved in the deaths of 20 people killed in a crush at the Love Parade techno festival.
But amid a clamor of questions about who is to blame, they said yesterday they haven’t yet identified any suspects.
The tragedy Saturday happened near a tunnel that was the only entrance to the festival grounds in the western industrial city of Duisburg....
Was ALCOHOL a FACTOR?
Police raised the death toll late yesterday to 20 from 19 after a 21-year-old German woman succumbed to her injuries in a hospital.
It remains unclear what triggered the panic....
A union representing German police has blamed organizers and officials in Duisburg. But witnesses also have pointed the finger at police and private security staff, saying the panic broke out after they closed one end of a tunnel — the only entrance — when the festival grounds became too full.
Police denied that and said....That is what newspapers are for.
