Based on the Washington Post article, > in 8 years, 515 babies died in adult beds - You do need to have your hands dripped in ink - the key point is "reported". And you can't assume different articles are counting the same deaths. I bet if there was a way to tally all of the projected deaths each year from the biggies like car accidents, heart disease, cancer, and work your way down past second hand smoke and down to the radon exposure deaths, shark attacks, over cooked meats (nitrates), hot coffee from McDonalds, you would find at least 100,000,000 deaths a year in the US alone! And none from old age. Specific deaths are rarely all reported to some central agency. g barden
