8 die at nursing home since Hurricane Irma

MIAMI: Eight residents died at a Florida nursing home that had been without power since Hurricane Irma, and the state governor vowed a full investigation on Wednesday. The deaths brought the number of storm-related fatalities in Florida to 20, and illustrated the urgency of restoring electricity to millions of people across the southern state. Three of those who died were in their 90s, including 99-year-old Albertina Vega. The youngest was 70, according to the Broward County Medical Examiner’s office.
