2 Timeline of Associated Press tally 3 Detailed timeline of identifications |
In late November New York City began a revised count, in which they distinguished
the missing and dead as: death certificates issued by the medical
examiner's office (ME), corresponding to recovered and identified bodies;
death certificates issued through the courts (courts); and other reported missing (missing).
Later tallies (from New York Times)
The Associated Press assembled its tally from various sources, including
those confirmed dead by a coroner or declared dead by a court; those reported dead by employers, airlines, or families, or who had memorial services; and those reported missing by employers or families.
Police determine that Albert John Vaughan, 45, and George V. Sims, 46, missing and presumed dead, are alive. Vaughan has been a patient at the Rockland Psychiatric Center in Orangeburg, N.Y. Sims is a patient with amnesia and schizophrenia at a Mnahattan hospital.
The Newark Star-Ledger reports that George V. Sims is alive. By this point at least 7 people on the August 19 list have been found; there are now 2812 killed or presumed dead.
