A second person who suffered injuries during the incident at the O2 Brixton Academy on Thursday (December 15) has sadly died.
Gaby Hutchinson, 23, died in hospital in the early hours of this morning (December 19).
Hee was working as one of the contracted security providers for the event that evening.
Chief Superintendent Colin Wingrove, policing commander for Lambeth and Southwark, said: “It is devastating news that a second person has lost their life following the events on Thursday.
"I wish to express my heartfelt condolences to Gabrielle’s family at this unimaginably difficult time.”
Detectives from the Met's Specialist Crime Command are working in a "large and complex" investigation to establish exactly what happened.
Officers are reviewing CCTV, phone footage, speaking to witnesses and conducting forensic examinations.
The police cordons outside the venue have been removed, but cordons remain in place inside the building while officers continue to examine the scene.
The three people who were critically injured, including Rebecca Ikumelo and Gabrielle Hutchinson who have tragically died, were all in the foyer of the building.
A third woman, aged 21, remains in hospital in a critical condition.
An online page for the submission of photos, videos and information has been set up and police are asking anyone with such material to use this facility.
There were around 4,000 potential witnesses present at the time of this incident.
Police officers were initially called to the location at 9.04pm following reports of a large crowd gathered outside the venue.
A further call was made at 9.35pm reporting people were attempting to force entry into the venue.
