How do they know how many people died so soon after a major disaster?

In Turkey and Syria now they’re saying 1,800 people died already. Is it as simple as counting the bodies and reporting that?

Yes. They will be counting bodies for months to come, they don’t know how many are dead yet, only how many they have already recovered and recorded.

Really, the fault is in reporting, misleadingly presenting the figures as if it were a estimation of total, it isn’t.
