One week after the Aceh Tsunami there were a lot of dead bodies washed up on the beach, or among the mangroves, getting covered up by sand. Sure, a few get away to live another day, to be copped by the next one. As a volcanic event it *would* have been spread out over a long period, but individual killings would have been catastrophic on their own scale (and synchronised).
Also, do you really think mass extinction events occurred in such a short time scale that it would be possible to define "1 week after" one of them? On that basis, what happened "1 week after" the Crusades? Or "1 week after" the Black Death? Mass Extinction events ranged over thousands to millions of years. "1 week after" is so arbitrary as to be utterly meaningless.
