The death toll in New Jersey from Hurricane Sandy has climbed to 33, The Associated Press reported on Monday, citing information from the New Jersey State Police. A week earlier, the count stood at 23.
The causes have included drowning, hypothermia, carbon monoxide poisoning and injuries from falling trees.
With Saturday's death of a man who had fallen in a darkened staircase in a Rockaway Beach housing project during the storm bringing the New York City death toll to 43, the total death toll from the storm is at least 119, up from 106 on Nov. 5.
The state-by-state figures are: New York, 50; New Jersey, 33; Pennsylvania, 15; West Virginia, 6; Maryland, 4; Connecticut, 3; North Carolina, 3; Ohio, 2; Virginia, 2; New Hampshire 1.
