>As of 27 February 2017, the Fukushima prefecture government counted 2,129 "disaster-related deaths" in the prefecture.[21][19][22][23] This value exceeds the number that have died in Fukushima prefecture directly from the earthquake and tsunami.[24] "Disaster-related deaths" are deaths attributed to disasters and are not caused by direct physical trauma, but does not distinguish between people displaced by the nuclear disaster compared to the earthquake / tsunami. As of year 2016, among those deaths, 1,368 have been listed as "related to the nuclear power plant" according to media analysis
Looks like that 2xxx number is disaster-related deaths? And the related to the nuclear power plant is 1368.
It is a bit confusing what that exactly entails. It seems to include people who committed suicide due to the evacuation, but surely their can't have been 1300 suicides. Is it people who are assumed to have died only because they weren't at home? How do you die due to an evacuation anyways?
None of this really seems explained, unless it really is 1300 suicides.
- natmaka 3y ago> the related to the nuclear power plant "As of year 2016" (obsolete), and "according to media analysis" (vague source). The official number of "Disaster-related deaths" is directly tied to a "disaster condolence fund system" (families have to apply).
