Current understanding
One report says the death toll in the Bhote Koshi floods has reached 1,409, and another says 1,237 bodies have been managed. [1]
A separate report says over 1,400 people are dead and 6,000 are missing in the Bhote Koshi river flood. [2]
The two headlines give differing figures on the toll and missing count, so the reported totals remain inconsistent across the attributed reports. [1][2]

Score breakdown
What shaped this score
Each dimension is scored separately out of 100.
The strongest evidenced dimension establishes the base score. Separate human-impact dimensions can add a bounded share of the remaining headroom without double-counting the same harm.
The current fatality scale reaches 100 at 100 reported deaths. Since this headline reports 1,409, the loss component is capped at 100/100; the exact count still breaks ranking ties.
