Forty-five bodies have been found at a hospital that was evacuated more than a week ago after it was surrounded by floodwaters unleashed by Hurricane Katrina, a state health official said Monday.

I wonder if this is the source of the rumors of mercy killing at New Orleans hospitals?

Autopsies required.

This is the hospital the leftwing fans of Charity Hospital claimed had been totally evacuated.

They demanded all efforts be turned to Charity.

Apparantly they got their wish.

Might not Mr. Brown have been canned as a consequence?

The 317-bed hospital, owned by TenetHealthcare Corp., was surrounded by floodwaters in the aftermath of the hurricane and was evacuated.

Apparently not.

Indeed - i wonder if this is proof of that "mercy killing" rumor I read elsewhere.

There is so much left unsaid and unreported, still, about what happened in that city after the levee broke. I think the media is trying to erase what we thought we saw, or something. Where's the investigative reporting, the interviews with doctors and nurses and policemen and tourists and bus drivers, etc? I sometimes suspect that if a person doesn't walk right past the hotel where the journos are staying, they don't get interviewed.

i agree, and if they were overdosed with morphine to die than I think charges need to be filed asap!

Possibly the bodies were there before the storm hit?

How many patients die in a day? I sure don't know. Not that many I wouldn't think (note to self: don't go to this hospital if sick.)

Could it be these bodies were killed by looters?

owned by TenetHealthcare Corp....

A public company. Stock price might be an indication on what insiders know about getting people out or not.

Somewhere, a social security check is being cashed for them.

Lack of electricity, perhaps if they were on life support systems? Its all only speculation until autopsies are performed.

I have wondered about all of the SS payments. You know that is going to be a nightmare.

I wonder if the bodies were in the morgue? Probably a few days supply since the hurricane was coming and no morgues were doing business. And a few probably brought in immediately after the hurricane hit.

It sounds like this came as a surprise. Didn't the hospital mention this to someone in authority?
