This is according to a statement by the police in the British capital on Monday.
The 23-year-old woman was working as one of the contracted security providers for the gig at the 02 Academy in Brixton, south London, on Thursday evening.
It is reported that a third woman, aged 21, is in critical condition in a hospital. Chief Superintendent Colin Wingrove, in charge of the investigation, called the second death “devastating news” and sent his condolences to the woman’s family.
