Early reports said that four people had died at an overnight concert in the open parking lot of SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City on Sunday.
However a new statement issued this morning now says that five people died, including one American.
The concert, entitled “Forever Summer,” was part of a promotional gig from Close-up toothpaste brand.
One 18-year-old girl was in serious condition but later died at a local hospital – her name is Kim Migawa.
The American citizen was reported earlier as one of the casualties of the concert. Officials said that the four had lost consciousness while attending an overnight concert there.
So far authorities have only said that the deaths are most likely drug related as they believe the group may have been under the influence.
Among the casualties outside of the American, the death toll includes two men, and two women who are all Filipino.
