Remains of two Katrina victims found

Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS - Two more bodies have been found in the city's hurricane-devastated Lower Ninth Ward, a coroner said Monday.

About 1,100 deaths have now been blamed on Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, Melissa Walker, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Health and Hospitals, said. Katrina's death toll in Mississippi is 231.

The latest bodies were found Sunday in a collapsed house while rubble was being cleared, said Dr. Louis Cataldie, state medical examiner.

Cataldie said he was not sure who found the remains, but he did not believe it was relatives of the victims.
