I have included the asked-for data about Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines in link [#1] below. The other links are interesting compendia of other volcanic activity, but you may have to google individual events for more complete info.
"Mount Pinatubo is an active volcano located on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The volcano's eruption in June 1991 came after 500 years of dormancy, and produced one of the largest and most violent eruptions of the 20th century. It is a subduction volcano, formed by the Eurasian Plate sliding under the Philippine Plate along the Manila Trench to the west. About 300 people were killed by the eruption, mostly by roofs collapsing under the weight of accumulated wet ash."

It is the government agency responsible for monitoring local volcanoes. It also has links to the best international volcano monitoring websites.

I can't name these statistics for you but if you look at this link, I think that you will find what you need. After you pick a volcanic event, I suggest googling it for the people-related (deaths) statistics.
