HELP According to hospital records, 5,609 died of diseases and accidents during the U. S. construction period. Of these, 4,500 were West Indian workers. A total of 350 white Americans died. The actual worker death toll during the French construction period will never be known, as the French would only record deaths at the hospitals, which were a small percentage of the total. According to a report by Dr. Gorgas, it is possible that some 22,000 workers died during the French construction period.
