Tragedy in South Korea! What Would Cause a "Mass Cardiac Arrest" Event in Young People? | In other stampede events, people died from being suffocated and crushed to death, not from their hearts stopping.

I found this from 2015:

Within three to five minutes, you could die of asphyxia. In extreme heat, you may faint standing up, but because you can't fall to the ground to allow the blood to start flowing to your brain, you could die of a heart attack.

. . .

"When you can't lie down, because when you faint you are supposed to fall down to earth, you die a cardiac death because there is no blood supply to the head," he said. "It is simple plumbing."

When people get trampled, their muscles can get squashed or crushed. When damaged, muscle tissue can release toxic electrolytes including potassium, which can leak into the bloodstream and cause death.
