Bronx fire: New York mayor Eric Adams revises death toll to 17

Initially 19 people were believed to have died in the blaze - city's deadliest in three decades - as doctors battle to save gravely hurt

The mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, on Monday revised the death toll from a high-rise fire in the Bronx on Sunday, saying 17 people were killed, two fewer than originally thought.

Adams said nine adults and eight children died. He did not immediately provide a reason for the lower count.
