the details of those deaths are not available.
The upper reaches are known as death zone as in the mountaineering term it is renowned as altitude above a certain point where atmospheric pressure is around 356 millibars and oxygen level is so less in which human can’t survive.
Many deaths take place in that zone as in that zone human body uses oxygen more than it can be replenished. The extended stay in that particular zone without appropriate oxygen leads to loss of consciousness and, ultimately, death.
