I heard someone saying earlier this evening that 9 people who were wounded and in the hospital have since died of their wounds. I don’t know if they were already counted in the 50 or whether the count is up to 59 now. Since many of those wounded are said to have serious head or chest wounds, the death toll is bound to rise over the coming days.
I’ve been wondering about this aspect all day. I think the death toll must be going upwards of 50 for sure, because at the first morning press conference the count was at 50 and the doctor on the presser said that “many” of the wounded victims at the hospitals were “critically ill” .... which means head wounds and/or severe bleeding, organ damage etc. So I think the death toll must be going well above 50 by now, but whatever the exact number may be it is a horrible thing.
Sadly, I think the figure of 50 dead was just the initial figure and I noticed in several articles they mentioned that many of the wounded had severe wounds and may die, raising the total killed in the attack.
