Or any death whats so ever Car accidents, eletricutions, cancer, old age are just a few of the examples.How did the death toll go from 64 to three thousand a year after the hurricane?
I believe they're counting the folks who died afterwards from lack of shelter, food, sanitary water, medical care, etc.
No. That isn't right. Those would be exceptions, not examples. (Perhaps electrocutions related to the 'event'), The term is called EXCESS deaths and are related to the catastrophic event, ethnic cleansing, war related mass casualty and of course WEATHER disasters. It is a science, well defined, performed by entities like Johns Hopkins, MIT, the LANCET (medical mathematical entities). It is a science for counting 'deaths' and used around the world.
