News reports state that more than 15,000 residents disappeared, and Piccolo later explains that Cell killed them by absorbing them. The exact death toll is unknown. The wealthy man of the town is included. Reporters and investigators who arrived after the disappearances are not added to this approximate resident count.
Yamcha asks Shenron to revive the people killed by Cell, and the residents fall within the scope of Shenron’s fulfilled wish. No individual revival of a resident is shown; this determination matches the description of Cell’s attack on the entire town in Chapter 364 against the scope of the wish. The approximate death toll is not used to establish a revival count. The wealthy man is included within the group. This group is separate from the island residents, Royal Defense Force, and Trunks.
