Where are the 15 fallen members of New Tristram's militia?

Question

When you're wandering around in New Tristram, one of the villagers will occasionally tell you: "Sixteen militia men went out, only Rumsford came back". In addition to this, you will find corpses of the "Tristram Militia" scattered amongst the undead. Since they're all in non-random areas, I'm curious if the frightened recruit is right.

Are there actually only 15 Tristram Militia corpses? Or is the recruit exaggerating?

Answer

I explored the area around New Tristram, and I don't believe there are only 15, although this is a hard one to answer definitively.

• On Old Tristram Road, before you reach the ruins, I found 4 including one in a Damp Cellar.
• In the Old Ruins, I found another 4
• At Adria's Hut, I found 5 corpses, 2 inside and 3 just outside.

(The guy in the top right looks different, but I have another screenshot where I'm hovering over him and it says he's a militia member...)

This means there are 13 on the road to the Cathedral.

I also investigated Cathedral Level 1, and found:

• 2 fighting monsters near the entrance, alongside a villager. They died in the melee. They were wearing the same blue tunics and armor as the other militia members, although their corpses weren't lootable after they'd died.

• 1 uttering his last breath later in the area, who was wearing red, like the adventurers typically do. However, the closed captioning identified him as "Tristram Militia"

If we count these 3, the total is now 16.

I checked the path to the cemetery, but I found no members of the militia on this path. There were several dead villagers and a few dead adventurers, but no militia members.

(I've got more screenshots than this, but most are relatively boring.)
