Majority of Japan tsunami dead were older than 60

None

New data from Japan's National Police Agency shows that two-thirds of the victims identified so far in last month's tsunami were elderly - and most of them drowned.

 

The agency said in a release this week that as of a month after the March 11 disaster 65 percent of the 11,108 confirmed fatalities of known age were 60 or older. (AP)
