By way of comparison, 25 pilgrims from Egypt died during the Hajj -- out of a total of probably around 75,000 (don't have an exact figure). Again, sounds like these people died of chronic diseases. Interesting note: the Egyptian Health Minister and his family were apparently amongst the Egyptian pilgrims.
