NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) – The government in the Bahamas says the death toll from Hurricane Dorian has risen to at least 50. Health Minister Duane Sands on Tuesday confirmed the increase in the death toll in a message to The Associated Press. Authorities say they expect to find more bodies as they search through debris in devastated areas of the northern Bahamas. Members of the Gainesville, Florida, fire department found five bodies Monday in the destroyed neighborhood known as The Mudd, the Bahamas’ largest Haitian immigrant community. Dorian is blamed for at least seven other deaths in the Southeast U.S. and Puerto Rico.
