Puerto Rico Orders Recount of Hurricane Maria Death Toll After Investigation Suggests 1,000+ Died

In the face of mounting evidence of a vast undercount by the government, Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello has called for a recount of the death toll from Hurricane Maria. The government's official death toll stands at 64. But several investigations have revealed that nearly 1,000 more people died. The Center for Investigative Journalism in Puerto Rico examined the 40-day period after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico compared to that same time period last year and found at least 985 additional people died. This week, The New York Times and other outlets published statistics from the Puerto Rican government that show the death toll may be more than 1,000. We speak with Omaya Sosa, the co-founder of Puerto Rico's Center for Investigative Journalism, who has led coverage of the deaths after the storm.
