__ In addition to burnt deaths, deaths by heat, gas, or lack of oxygen happened in shelters "Bo-ku-go" and Japan style fire resisting building "Kura". The mayer Yoshitaka Tsuruta was killed in a shelter by this type of causes. Some dead bodies were not damaged as bad as being burned, but some were miserable.

== After the air raid, a shelter was dug and opened. All people inside was dead; one body lost head, another lost legs by being steamed. One was identified by a bank note which body fat infiltrated.(ref#2 pp232)

__ There was another typical type of death. That was direct hit by incendiary bomb. The number of Incendiary bombs dropped was so large, about 150,000, which was more than two times of population of Nagaoka. Either explosive or unexplosive an incendiary bomb was, so many people were killed by direct hit of it.

== A father was holding up his child, but threw the child's body from bank of Shinano River. The child was already dead by direct hit of bomb. People around him did nothing, just saw the child body was rolling down the slope and falling into the river.(ref#2 pp193)

== An incendiary bomb pierced the throat of 4-year and 6-month old boy. The bomb was unexplosive, but killed the boy in a moment. The day, his mother had put red socks (kind of shoes) on his legs. It was obvious that B-29 crews could not see the red socks, though, the mother regreted to have done so.(ref#1 pp253)

== Late afternoon on next day of the air raid, a boy found his younger brother lying near the main gate of high school. The younger brother, who was ten years old, was hit by incendiary bomb in his head. The bomb perforated the head cover, blew away a half of head so that brain could be seen.(ref#1 pp274)

__ There were some other minor causes of deaths, for example, drowning in Shinano River(ref#2 pp225) or Kaki River(ref#2 pp348). And shocks and fears caused by air raid and strong fire, resulted in heart-attack type deaths.(ref.#1 pp97)
