the truckloads of bodies at the morgue. the mountainous communities that were cut off. so the stories were there. then all these independent studies started coming out, most notably a harvard one that estimated the death toll was actually over 4,600 people in maria-related deaths. so the government under pressure to conduct their own study, they hired george washington university to do that. that study hasn't even been published yet. but we got this new number of the revised death toll in this reconstruction plan for puerto rico when they actually submitted a $139 billion aid package for the reconstruction of the island over the next ten years. so that's how we found out about this new number. 1,427 people. it is actually the first time that the island government has even acknowledged a death toll higher than 64.
