Yitzchak Samet (18), who was crushed and trampled on at the funeral for Rabbi Shmuel Wosner died of his wounds on Wednesday morning. The Toldos Aharon Hassid was being treated at Beilinson hospital, according to Kikar Shabbat.

Over 100 people were injured by the overflowing crowds, who were shoving and pushing each other to get closer to the casket at the Bnei Brak funeral for the well-known Rabbi.

Four people were seriously injured, two of whom have since died. The first victim was Mordechai Gerber (27).

Samet’s funeral will be held in Meah Shearim, Jerusalem on Wednesday afternoon, and he is expected to be buried on the Mount of Olives.
