...Fifteen shocked people have been delivered to Moscow hospital #15. MK-Novosti
correspondents inform that one girl died in the hospital; she hasn’t been
identified yet. Two boys and one girl were delivered to Moscow’s Filatovskaya
hospital; one boy is in a grave condition.
It was reported earlier that two men and a young woman died on the way to
hospital; it is very likely that these people became poisoned with the gas
used in the storm."

http://english.pravda.ru/main/2002/10/27/38742.html
The successful operation by the Russian Special Forces resulted in 750 hostages
being freed, while unfortunately 118 died, most due to inhalation of a sleeping
gas. 646 hostages are hospitalised, 180 of whom are on the critical list.
All the terrorists, 32 men and 18 women, are reported dead. Many refugees
are being treated in hospital, showing signs of poisoning from the gas used
by the special forces, who reacted when the terrorists started to kill the
hostages.
