As you read their names and how they died below, we all begin to understand more deeply the impact on the island and those\u00a0 who lost their family and friends. This database was assembled by the reputable Puerto Rico&#8217;s Center for Investigative Journalism.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h1>About the investigation<\/h1>\n<h2>This is a database of people who died due to Hurricane Maria.<\/h2>\n<p>Over the last year, reporters from Quartz and Puerto Rico\u2019s Center for Investigative Journalism (CPI) collected hundreds of stories from Puerto Ricans who say their relatives died because of Hurricane Maria but were overlooked by the government. With the Associated Press, names of the dead were matched against government death records released by the Puerto Rican government in response to a lawsuit by CPI. Together, we interviewed about 300 families of the dead and reviewed the records of nearly 200 others using the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s criteria for certifying disaster-related deaths.<br \/>\nMost of the deaths in the project\u2019s database are considered indirect, meaning they were not caused by winds or flooding but rather made more likely because of factors like the lack of power, fresh water and medical supplies after the storm. The project did not interview the patients\u2019 doctors and the death certificates themselves make no link to Maria. The Puerto Rican government acknowledges that hundreds or thousands of deaths should have been classified as storm-related but weren\u2019t, due to doctors\u2019 lack of training on how to correctly fill out death certificates. Participation in this survey was voluntary; therefore, the sample is not representative of Puerto Rico\u2019s demography and was not used to extrapolate trends in causes of death and demographics.<br \/>\nThe project analyzed mortality databases from the Demographic Registry of Puerto Rico from 2014 to 2017 to calculate changes in demographics and cause of death rates across the whole population, using ICD-10 standard grouping for 50 cause-of-death rankings.<br \/>\nDeaths in&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"item-body\">\n<div id=\"interactive-content\">\n<div id=\"database\">\n<div class=\"top\">\n<div id=\"filters\">\n<div class=\"filters\">\n<div class=\"row month\">\n<ul>\n<li>September 2017 <span class=\"count\">(142)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>October <span class=\"count\">(189)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>November <span class=\"count\">(71)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>December <span class=\"count\">(42)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>January 2018 <span class=\"count\">(17)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>February <span class=\"count\">(9)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>March and after <span class=\"count\">(6)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row cause\">\n<strong>Deaths caused by \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Causes directly related to the hurricane <span class=\"count\">(73)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Damages caused by flood, landslides, etc. <span class=\"count\">(12)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Lack of electricity <span class=\"count\">(158)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Lack of food or water <span class=\"count\">(24)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Lack of access to medical care <span class=\"count\">(95)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Lack of access to communications <span class=\"count\">(55)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row dropdown deathPl\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"card-container\" class=\"card-content\">\n<div id=\"rene-rodolfo-acosta-velez-3000\" class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-content\">\n<div class=\"name\">Ren\u00e9 Rodolfo Acosta V\u00e9lez<\/div>\n<div class=\"death-date\">Date of death:<br \/>\n2017-11-15<br \/>\n95 years old<\/div>\n<div class=\"age\">Place of death: San Juan<\/div>\n<div class=\"cause\">Clinical cause of death: Stroke, not specified as hemorrhage or infarction<\/div>\n<div class=\"causes\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"close\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wilfredo-lanausse-soto-1268\" class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-content\">\n<div class=\"name\">Wilfredo Lanausse Soto<\/div>\n<div class=\"death-date\">Date of death:<br \/>\n2017-09-23<br \/>\n89 years old<\/div>\n<div class=\"age\">Place of death: Guayama<\/div>\n<div class=\"cause\">Clinical cause of death: Other Causes<\/div>\n<div class=\"causes\">\nWhat happened: Don Tito was hospitalized during the hurricane.

The tube for intravenous feeding got broken, but she was not taken to gastroenterologist. There were landslides behind the nursing home.

Also found low hemoglobin, low red and white blood cells, low platelets. The power generator was damaged several times and the medical tests expected immediately were not done until some weeks later. We stayed 25 days in the hospital. Two weeks after he died, some tests results arrived. My husband had cancer in the blood.
