There are many things we'll never know about the toll of this storm . . . I also wonder if we'll ever be able to get a breakdown as between actual storm deaths and those killed by post-storm criminal activity . . .
Deaths by natural causes and murder go on daily in every big city...The deaths by natural causes may spike because of the storm...Those already weak from disease or age..but someone says it then settles down overall because those would have died later, died sooner..I doubt the actual murder toll statistically will show much different than normal in NO.
