Reply to comment by Luddevig in [OC] Qatar's Migrant Deaths During FIFA World Cup Stadium Construction by Metalytiq

The BBC's investigation said on average there were 50 deaths a year for " stadium building" related deaths. The rest were normal deaths.

Thanks. That would be 50 workers * 8 stadiums * 5 years for each = 2000?

I would imagine many also died from their living conditions that were promised to be a lot better than they were. And the infrastructure was a much larger project than the stadiums which would mean like 4000 additional deaths? Maybe that was included in the stadium building?

Anyway, at least 2000 is good to know.

No that was across all stadiums I believe

Oh okay. Like 500 then (the stadiums were built over 10 years)! And 1000 from infrastructure and ... 1000 from bad living environments? My guess would be 2500 then, and at least 500.
