Love Parade death toll rises


The death toll from last weekend's Love Parade in Germany has risen to 21.

 

More than 500 people were injured at the techno event in the city of Duisburg, in a stampede at an entrance tunnel connecting an old railway station to the parade ground.

 

Prosecutors' spokesman Rolf Haferkamp said that a 25-year-old German woman died in hospital overnight after failing to recover from her injuries during the crush.

 

A service of remembrance is being planned and a book of condolence has been opened.
