AP classification criteria (updated 9/24/01)

The victims are divided into these groups:


1.    CONFIRMED DEAD. Includes those who have been confirmed dead by a
coroner's office or the Defense Department. It also includes those for whom
death certificates have been issued, even if no body has been recovered.

2.    REPORTED DEAD. Includes those whose deaths have been reported by
family, employers, mortuaries, places of worship or by the airlines that
listed them as aboard one of the four flights. Includes people for whom
memorial services have been held, even if their bodies have not been
recovered or positively identified. (Those identified by federal authorities
as the hijackers are not included in the database.)

3.    REPORTED MISSING. People identified by family, official agencies or
employers as missing.
