Is this article also fabricated?

The official death toll in Mississippi is currently 193; the last official count in Hancock County, which includes the city of Bay St. Louis, stands at just 36, according to state officials.

But those numbers are considered low by law enforcement and medical rescue squads. One law enforcement officer estimates it is more likely to be between 600 and 800 Bay St.Louis alone. The residents are “in for a shock,” he tells the Washington Post.
Another EMS worker from Georgia says the death toll in Mississippi is more likely in the thousands.

"We have painted numbers on homes with dead bodies in them that would go past the current state total. The number is so far from accurate it would leave many to wonder at the end of the day, just how many people did Katrina kill here?"

The paramedic, citing HIPPA laws, asked to remain nameless. He says, " I had worked the first three days after the storm and found bodies everywhere. I walked most of Hancock County and we were finding families in closets who had drowned from the storm. We were finding people in trees who must have been trying to swim in the surge. Bodies have been everywhere."
