Shortly after the earthquake, the USGS raised the initial 7.5-magnitude of the quake to 7.9. AFP cited Nepal’s Home Ministry as listing 114 dead. A Nepalese diplomat said that “possibly hundreds” are feared dead in the massive earthquake. Thirty-six bodies have been counted so far by Kathmandu's main civil hospital. In addition, 21 bodies were seen on the ground, reported Nepal's Kantipur TV.
