Yeah, it's very much not. One of the reasons there were so many conflicting death toll numbers early on is because they kept finding, let's say.. multiple fractions of people who ended up being the same person. Southwest of town, a man was caught out in a pasture with his cows and killed, but apparently no one noticed his body among the cows initially because they all got Jarrell'd. There's also an account of a nurse who pulled a girl from the rubble and worked on her for some time without ever realizing the girl was her own daughter - she wasn't even recognizable.Y'know, I haven't seen much descriptions of what happened to the New Richmond victims besides that some of them were "burnt" because of the fires + a few of them got ripped to shreds. I feel like that isn't nearly the worst of it.
There's probably no way to verify it at this point, but several sources at the time also told a story of a man who was killed in the northeast part of New Richmond and wasn't identified for a few days.. until his head was found in a field way on the other side of the mill pond. Which is pretty close to a mile away.
Edit: Just saw your last post. And yeah, that's basically what I mean by Jarrell'd.
