Officials in South Korea say most of the people who died or were injured during the Halloween crowd crush in Seoul on Saturday night, are in their teens and 20s. They say foreigners are among the victims, including two Japanese women.

26-year-old Tomikawa Mei was from Hokkaido in northern Japan. Her father told NHK that since June she had been studying the Korean language in Seoul.

Tomikawa Ayumu says he tried to call his daughter's mobile phone several times after he learned about the accident. However, he says Mei did not answer and after several attempts a South Korean police officer responded instead.

A Japanese Foreign Ministry official told him on Sunday that Mei had died.

Tomikawa says, "My daughter said she wanted to work in South Korea and had been studying Korean for a long time before she went there. I think she must be very disappointed."
