Body found 11months after Katrina

Eleven months after Hurricane Katrina hit, firefighters broke through a back door of a destroyed home filled with debris and furniture and found skeletal remains.

The remains were found yesterday in a home in eastern New Orleans. The discovery was made after the Louisiana Family Assistance Center in Baton Rouge received information from a woman's son who said he believed she was still in her house.

Chief coroner's investigator John Gagliano says DNA tests will be used to identify the remains.

With the help of a search dog, authorities found the bones under a pile of debris in a front bedroom.

It was the 28th Katrina body found in New Orleans since a federal mortuary service ceased operations and turned the collection of bodies over the coroner's office in March.

In May Louisiana's Department of Health and Hospitals raised Louisiana's Katrina death toll by 281, to a total of 1,577 after receiving more reports of out-of-state deaths.
