Members of the public have laid white chrysanthemums, drinks and candles at an altar near the scene of the disaster
South Korea was in mourning on Monday after more than 150 people, mostly young adults, died when a huge Halloween party crowd surged into a narrow alley in a nightlife district in Seoul.
It remained unclear what led the crowd to surge into the downhill alley in the Itaewon area on Saturday night, and authorities promised a thorough investigation. Witnesses said people fell on each other “like dominoes,” and some victims were bleeding from their noses and mouths while being given CPR.
