At least 30 found dead in St. Bernard Parish nursing home
Authorities in a suburban parish began retrieving the bodies of more than 30 people from a nursing home Wednesday, while New Orleans police prepared to start forcing the evacuation of up to 15,000 remaining residents.
St. Bernard Parish Sheriff Jack Stevens said said "30-plus" bodies were found in St. Rita's Nursing Home in lower St. Bernard Parish -- one of the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.
Between 40 and 50 other people were rescued from the facility, Stevens said.
The parish is east of New Orleans, where Mayor Ray Nagin has authorized police to forcibly remove anyone not involved in rescue efforts.
