Which raises an interesting question. Who was the 1st person that Indy killed?

Hatayan Tank Driver - Catches a stray bullet in the forehead.

(Marcus is actually Vogel's indirect killer because by hitting the soldier with the shell he indirectly caused the tank driver's death, thus causing the unguided tank to go over the cliff in the first place.)

Well, they were clearly related but distinctly different topics (one on everyone killed by Indy himself, the other on everyone killed by anyone / anything in the course of the movies / OT), but oh well...
I was thinking it'd be interesting to see how many throughout the movies, TV show, novels and/or video games (Video games such as Infernal Machine, Emperor's Tomb and Staff of Kings have very fluid engines/enemies so it might be harder to calcuate) are killed by Indy. It's strange to think that he's a hero yet he's killed over his career as an adventurer and spy dozens if not hundreds of guys either directly or indirectly.
A video I saw has the estimate of 154 deaths in the movie trilogy alone, most of which were either directly by Indy, because of Indy, not stopped by Indy or helped Indy survive (for example, Marion killing the Germans in the truck that came to kill Indy; He might not have killed them himself but their death helped him win). Other deaths in that count, such as Wu Han's, or Indy's other employee in the South America, 1936 section of Raiders, come not directly by through their association with Jones. I'll call it 153 since the video I saw includes the monkey in Raiders.

Don't get me wrong, I've got no issues with violence (I'll even let my young kids watch Black Hawk Down), but Indy's a killer. No two ways around it. I wonder what his body count will be in the next one.
Indy's a killer...
Makes me wonder under what circumstances any of us would pull the trigger.
