This happened to Scotty once, Kirk twice, and Spock a couple of times. I also note that he seems to have neglected the episode "By Any Other Name", in which a woman is first reduced to a cubeoctahedron of soap powder and then crushed to death. She was wearing a red shirt. This calls his entire analysis into question. Do those statistics include incidents in which a crewmember is killed and brought back to life?
