Odd Statement

CBS Evening News was reporting on the Oklahoma tornado this evening and commented that, while early reports said that 51 deaths had been reported, it has now been confirmed that only 24 deaths were caused by the storm because "some bodies were counted twice." Actually, with those numbers it wasn't "some bodies" that were counted twoce, it had to have been all of the bodies, with three of them counted three times. The miscount is happy news certainly, but their explanation seems entirely bogus to me.
