The official death toll for the wildfire catastrophe on the island of Maui is running at about 111 now, and is expected to rise.
The report continued, “The morgue worker, who is volunteering in the search, also described finding scores of bodies, adding that many were families – including young children – who had died at their homes in each other’s’ arms, unable to escape the flames.”
Trost reported, “He found so many children, children and moms holding each other. Infants, toddlers, the unimaginable. Husbands and wives, whole entire [families] in a room just huddling together, burning to death.”
