No. While some people were killed by pyroclastic flows, people died from a variaty of causes. Some people were killed by the landslide that immediately precended the eruption. Others suffocated when they inhaled the ash. A couple were by a falling tree knocked over by the blast. Another person died in a plane crash after falling ash reduced visibilty to zero.
