Dozens Found Dead at New Orleans Hospital - Yahoo! News
Dozens Found Dead at New Orleans Hospital - Yahoo! News: "NEW ORLEANS - The bodies of more than 40 mostly elderly patients were found in a flooded-out hospital in the biggest known cluster of corpses to be discovered so far in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans.
The exact circumstances under which they died were unclear, with at least one hospital official saying Monday that some of the patients had died before the storm, while the others succumbed to causes unrelated to Katrina.
The announcement, which raises Louisiana's official death toll to nearly 280, came as
President Bush got his first up-close look at the destruction.
'My impression of New Orleans is this: That there is a recovery on the way,' Bush said in the shadow of a freeway overpass, destroyed cars littering the landscape behind him."
