Body found, bringing Katrina toll to 1,321

BATON ROUGE, La. --The body of another Hurricane Katrina victim was found this week, bringing the number of verified deaths caused by the storm to 1,321.

The body search in Louisiana, where 1,072 people died because of Katrina, was called off Oct. 3, but emergency workers and residents returning to destroyed homes continue to find the dead.

Louisiana's Department of Health and Hospitals reported the latest recovered body Friday, but did not provide any details. It said 1,095 bodies have been found in the state since Katrina struck the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29, but some deaths were deemed unrelated to the storm.


I can't believe the death toll is so low? !!!!!!!!! Randy Rhodes stated there are 6000 people unaccounted for, but I am darned if I can find that number anywhere, but normally she is right on top of things, so Big ? mark
