Seoul stampede victim identified
A Sydney woman has been identified as the Aussie victim who was crushed in the stampede in Seoul which killed 154 people.
Grace Rached, 23, was celebrating Halloween in downtown Seoul when the party made its way to a narrow alley.
There were more than 100,000 people in attendance of the party which turned deadly and saw Grace crushed to death.
The Sydney filmmaker was days away from her birthday and her family have been left devastated.
"We are missing our gorgeous angel Grace who lit up a room with her infectious smile," her family said in a statement.
"Grace always made others feel important and her kindness left an impression on everyone she ever met. Grace always cared about others and she was loved by all.
"Grace was a talented film producer who was passionate about making a difference.
"She cared deeply about her two sisters and was a wonderful role model. Grace showed us all what it meant to be an incredible human being.
"We will all deeply miss our beautiful Grace, our life of the party."
Officials have placed the death toll of the tragedy at 154 and the number of injured people at 133.
It is expected that the numbers will rise.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese also issued a statement wishing partygoers a speedy recovery.
“These were people who were out celebrating Halloween, out to have a good time and to come home safely,” he said.
“This tragedy has impacted people in South Korea in particular. But it has also impacted, in the harshest way possible, one Australian family and other Australians who were hurt in this incident.
“We just wish all of those people a very speedy recovery.”
