7:15 am
ear. in a report to congress requesting $139 billion in aid money, the government of puerto rico acknowledged in the four months following the hurricane, 1,427 more people died than normal compared to the previous four years. >> david, we've always said the amount was higher. >> reporter: this is puerto rico's secretary of public safety. we never heard you come out and say 1,427 until you put this report to congress. >> but it was never -- maybe it's an issue of perception maybe, but it was never meant to be secret. it wasn't secret. this is what the report said. >> reporter: a study done by harvard university estimated the death toll to be between 800 and 8,000. a report out last week conducted by penn state university put the number as high as 1,139. the puerto rico government is waiting on a report it
7:16 am
commissioned from george washington university. ricardo rosio is the governor. you paid for the study. you said you didn't have the right protocol to get the right death toll. nobody believes 64. even you don't believe it. it's not about believing it. >> people say it's the official count. it's just really the count -- >> reporter: it's where the count stopped? >> it's where the count stopped when we realized it wasn't appropriate. >> reporter: my sources are telling me that the george washington university study should be released by the end of the month. gayle, before we toss it back, we're at the forensic sciences center. we've talked about a backlog of bodies. there are nearly 300 awaiting autopsy. some are being stored in those trailers. the u.s. government is sending pathologists to help process the backl backlog. >> in the meantime, the pain continues there. thank you very much, david begnaud in puerto rico. the horrific air strike that hit a school bus filled with children in yemen is drawing
