Seriously how does one lose their life, I wouldn't say they lose it...they die. Maybe say 300 people's lives ended. There's no confusion, no possibility of finding and returning, providing a clear concise explanation.

Does anyone else notice these little nuances?
Now you're starting to think like George Carlin...
