Helens' vicitims died by asphyxiation from inhaling hot volcanic ash, and some by thermal and other injuries. The lateral blast, debris avalanche, mudflows, and flooding caused extensive damage to land and civil works. All buildings and related manmade structures in the vicinity of Spirit Lake were buried.
