How many people died of the disease?

The Black Death wiped out twenty to fifty million people, or one-third, of the people in Europe. It took only two to seven days for the victims to die. The mortality rate was fifty to ninety percent. It is estimated that the early amount of deaths was 8.33 million. These results are not confirmed because there is no real proof of the body count, but they are estimated to be very close to the real thing. It is also believed that the total amount of deaths worldwide from the disease was seventy five million.
