Grace Ratchet, a 23-year-old Australian woman, had a bowel movement while visiting Itaewon with her friends.
Grace, who graduated in video, would die a few days before her 24th birthday.
A friend of Grace, who was visiting Itaewon at the time, criticized the crushing disaster as a talent created by the lack of management by the authorities.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanage expressed his sincere condolences to the families of the victims, saying the Itaewon disaster was an unexpected tragedy.

Russia, where four people were killed, also cited the Itaewon disaster as a major source.
Russian media, including Primamedia, reported that the four Russians who were crushed by the disaster were all women in their 20s.
One of the dead, Yuliana Park, graduated from Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok and is said to have lived in Korea for about a year.
Friends who learned the news of the accident are raising money through social networking services to pay for funeral expenses for the bereaved family.
The city of Vladivostok said it will provide assistance such as body transport if requested by the victims’ families.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said 26 foreigners were killed and 15 injured in the disastrous Itaewon disaster.
By nationality, 5 people from Iran, 4 people from China and Russia, 2 people from the United States and Japan, and 14 countries including France, Thailand and Norway were included.
