"many deaths" is this right? death is uncountable , isn't it? and it can't be in plural , plus it will me much death. who can correct me?

Hi,

'Death' is countable and it refers in that sense to the death of a person as in: It was reported after the road accident that there had been two deaths = two people had died.

This 'it will me much death' doesn't make sense to me.
