Helene death toll

While the list is a full accounting of the 104 victims the Medical Examiner’s Office officially determined to be Helene-related fatalities, there are likely people who died or are presumed dead whose names are not on the list.

A sheriff's office statement and data from the state show that the North Carolina county that is home to Asheville overcounted deaths caused by Helene by as many as 30. The information in the statement on Tuesday significantly reduces the death toll from the historic storm.
