Note: Because of differences in the timing of reports from different sources, states' State sub-totals may not match their individual county State sub-totals.
As of January 27, the confirmed death toll stood at 1,420, mainly from Louisiana (1,104) and Mississippi (238). (Unlike some published figures, this includes deaths in Ohio (2), Kentucky (1), and among evacuees (57).) <38>
Direct deaths indicate those caused by the direct effects of the winds, flooding, storm surge or oceanic effects of Katrina. Indirect deaths indicate those caused by hurricane-related accidents (including car accidents), fires or other incidents, as well as clean-up incidents and health issues.
The New Orleans Times Picayune newspaper ran a story in November 2005 noting that 5000 missing New Orleans residents are still unaccounted for.
In hard-hit St. Bernard Parish, which was 100% flooded by Katrina, the search for the missing was slow. According to an interview in the Times Picayune, the coroner was still trying to get a list of missing from the Red Cross in November 2005. The initial list of missing persons of around 200 residents was published at several local media outlets. <39> While there were some victims on this list whose bodies were found in their homes as recently as December 2005; the vast majority were tracked down through word-of-mouth and credit card records.
As of December 2005, the official missing list in St. Bernard Parish stood at 47 <40>. It was feared that shrimpers and oystermen who usually ride out storms in their boats may have been swept into the marshes by the surge. While there were news reports of marsh searches reported on CNN, a more comprehensive search of the marshes of Eastern St. Bernard Parish was to begin in January 2006.
After protracted arguments over who would handle the costs, DNA testing began in early December to identify approximately 263 bodies that could not be identified by other means.<41>
