There were a total of 114 deaths associated with the building of the Hoover Dam.

The official figure however, is 96. Figures other than the official figure vary from the official 96 deaths to 112-114. According to the website of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, figures higher than 96 are including additional deaths such as deaths prior to the authorization of the dam's construction, deaths of nearby workers that may or may not have been directly involved with the project, deaths of workers who died of causes unrelated to the project, and deaths of family members of the dam's construction workers. The Bureau of Reclamation also points out on it's site that despite myth and rumor to the contrary, there are no bodies buried within the concrete of Hoover Dam.
