Yikes. I count a minimum of 70 bodies here, probably about 90, all apparently adult (or teenage) males. That is a lot. To me hey look like rebel hostages, but I can't say, really. At the moment. --Caustic Logic (talk) 11:52, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Crap. I forgot we had this and uploaded another version as "WhiteMorgue" recently for body recycling. I counted more carefully and can only say at least 66, and probably no more that 75 or so. Some clues suggest this is in Douma, and several child victims were also displayed in a morgue in Douma. I thought I had seen it was in Zamalka - here's where. I didn't see anything else to support it. --Caustic Logic (talk) 11:24, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

The scene here is 66+ men and older boys (aka men), but the area with children is adjacent - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp_Ju6742Z0 Mohammad al-Saeed video establishes the area, might allow geo-location - and I also compared all the photos I could find - I count with more confidence 34 smaller kids, then at least 23 kind-of pre-teen children, for 57+ - women are in a side-room, harder to say but 24+ body-sized tubes visible (range:24-32?) - so total bodies in this one place at this time, 147 minimum, and maybe like 160 or even as high as 166. Should be considered largely or totally overlapping with the 'gray brick' morgue large display - these should not be counted and added. --Caustic Logic (talk) 11:24, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, checked the video and the women's room I counted (from a photo) is only one of three of these (it is one of them). At least 37 more in the other rooms, so WhiteMorgue total = 184 to perhaps 200. --Caustic Logic (talk) 11:54, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
