The two U.S. college students, both aged 20, were in South Korea studying abroad.
Blesi was one of 11 KSU students studying abroad in Seoul, but his classmates were all reported safe after the incident.
"On behalf of the entire Kennesaw State community, our thoughts and prayers go out to Steven’s family and friends as they mourn this incomprehensible loss," Kennesaw State University President Kathy Schwaig said in a statement. Schwaig also said, "We have been in contact with Steven’s family and have offered all available resources of the University to them."
Flowers and photos of the two U.S. college students are seen at a makeshift memorial outside a subway station in the district of Itaewon in Seoul on Oct. 31, 2022, two days after a deadly Halloween crowd crush. "We will be there for those in our community who knew and loved Anne. We also have nearly 80 students from South Korea at UK — members of our community — who will need our support," Capilouto continued.
South Korean president Yoon Suk-Yeol declared a national mourning period amid an investigation into the cause of the deadly stampede.
