Context matters a lot here, because they could easily have been talking about 100 dead, not 100 icky. This is clearly a context where using death as a metaphor is beyond inappropriate. There are at least two The Office (USA) gags about exactly that concept.
I didn't think one second those students died in a war because of food poisoning.
It's also put in quotes, which implies they're quoting a person that was at the scene.
