Troubles reading and understanding? The deaths happened as a consequence of
Chimpoleon's invasion.

As many as 654,965 more Iraqis may have died since hostilities began in Iraq in
March 2003 than would have been expected under pre-war conditions, according to a
survey conducted by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public
Health and Al Mustansiriya University in Baghdad. The deaths from all
causes--violent and non-violent--are over and above the estimated 143,000 deaths per
year that occurred from all causes prior to the March 2003 invasion.

When interviewers asked to see a death certificate at households reporting a death,
it was presented in 92 percent of instances. The survey recorded 1,474 births and
629 deaths among 12,801 people surveyed. The data were then applied to the
million Iraqis living in the survey area.

While the survey collected information on the manner of death, the study did not
examine the circumstances of the death, such as whether the deceased was actively
involved in armed combat, terrorism, criminal activity or caught in the middle of
the conflict. The study outlines other limitations of the survey method, including
the hazards of collecting data during a conflict.
