Death toll from German stampede climbs to 20

The death toll from Saturday's mass panic during the Love Parade techno music festival in Germany's western city Duisburg has risen to 20, local police said.

A police spokesman said a 21-year-old German woman died of serious injuries on Monday in a local hospital.

The 20 killed, 12 women and eight men, were aged between 18 and 38. Twelve of them are Germans, and two were Spanish, others from the Netherlands, Australia, Bosnia, Italy and China. There were no Russian nationals among those killed or injured.

Rainer Schaller, the founder of the Love Parade, said Sunday that the Love Parade will never be held again.
