New horrors discovered as search-and-recovery effort goes on
Sun Herald ^ | 9/5/2005 | TOMMY TOMLINSON, LEE HILL KAVANAUGH AND MARTIN MERZER

NEW ORLEANS - (KRT) - Ghastly new evidence of Hurricane Katrina's horror emerged Monday night when a sheriff reported the recovery of 22 bodies lashed together around a pole - a desperate, futile attempt to survive the storm.

Sheriff Jack Stephens of St. Bernard Parish, just east of New Orleans, said rescuers found the bodies tied with rope and wrapped around a pole in the tiny village of Violet along the eastern bank of the Mississippi River.

The bodies were found soon after the storm in a flooded area of the village but still haven't been identified, he said. He said he believed they had tied themselves together, one by one, so they could escape the rising water.
