While his death is obviously sad and a blow for his family, I can't but wait for some official to claim that it "doesn't count".

 

Perhaps Prawit might come out with an equally stupid remark, "At least he wasn't Thai", following on from the one he made after the multiple deaths in Kenya a couple of months ago.

So far the only stupid remark here is yours.

And the day before yesterday, I still read a dutch guy has become the first fatality.

What is it anyway, all the first or one of many.
