I suppose that the reason that deaths are reported more than wounds is that you can't really console someone about a wound. It would be an extremely awkward situation, and perhaps the person would take affront at being given "charity." The reaction to a death is much more "standardized." You send flowers, condolence cards, etc, whereas with a wound, that would just be really awkward.
