A database of every death that resulted from the Northern Ireland conflict between 14 July 1969 and 31 December 2001, compiled by Malcolm Sutton from official records, press coverage and cross-checked personal testimony, and maintained by CAIN (Conflict Archive on the Internet), the conflict research archive run by Ulster University's INCORE institute. It is the reference index scholars, journalists and the Northern Ireland courts themselves treat as the standard controlled count of the Troubles' dead.

A university research institute's named, individually documented casualty index rather than a summary estimate: every one of its 3,532 recorded deaths is drawn to a named person, date and circumstance, cross-checked against multiple sources, alongside Malcolm Sutton's companion volume Bear in Mind These Dead. It is the standard reference for the conflict's death toll in both the scholarly and the journalistic literature.
