The second paragraph forced me to read more.

The sub-heading below headline is brilliant addition. -edw 08:27, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Number of dead is not yet known. Should be renamed. -Anom

Four of the five sources use the number "14" in their headline.
All of the sources use the number "14" in the article copy.
Scanning the latest reports, this number is the best available information.
If BP, the medical examiner, or another authority revises the casualty figure, I will certainly update the story, but I am unaware of any news outlets which are disputing this number. Some other outlets are hedging a bit and using "at least 14" which is what I did in the body of the article. — DV 13:26, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The latest update from refinery manager Don Parus: "We think we've found all the bodies." [1]DV 13:28, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Reply from me (teh Anom). I had viewed the story that morning in which they said 'Fourteen suspected dead in blast' or some such. It was not confirmed when I posted that, or the news article I read was older than I thought.
