Seol Ye-sol, a 19-year-old, asked her mother for money before going out to Itaewon to meet her boyfriend in one of their last dates before he goes to the military for mandatory service. Seven hours later, her boyfriend called her mother, crying and saying that she is dead.

The 55-year-old mother, Ahn Yeon-seon, recounted the last moment she shared with the ill-fated daughter while scouring a hospital in Seoul on Sunday looking for her, one of the victims in a deadly stampede during Halloween festivities the previous day.

"She said, 'Mom, gimme some money!' and then went out," Ahn told Yonhap News Agency at Soonchunghyang University Hospital, the biggest hospital in the Itaewon area where many of the dead and injured were brought by emergency responders following the stampede.

At least 151 people were killed and 82 injured, according to authorities.
