Yahoo: Hurricane’s death toll in Puerto Rico put at nearly 3,000
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico’s governor raised the island’s official death toll from Hurricane Maria from 64 to 2,975 on Tuesday after an independent study found that the number of people who succumbed in the desperate, sweltering months after the storm had been severely undercounted
Puerto Rico’s Governor finally admits that the death count from Hurricane Maria was much bigger than originally estimated. He admits he made mistakes, but for some this admission isn’t enough.
Moment ago, on CBSN, San Juan Puerto Rico Mayor @CarmenYulinCruz blasted the Governor for not firing people involved in investigating the death toll, after Hurricane Maria. The death toll is now 2,975, following a report, first reported today by CBS News.https://t.co/idZxtLzG5Z
