The total number of fatalities recorded due to DANA and the subsequent floods that affected the province of Valencia has increased to 215 deaths. An autopsy has already been performed on all of these people and all of them are also fully identified, two weeks after this catastrophe occurred, on October 29, 2024.
This is reflected in the statistical balance with the accumulated history since the beginning of the episode prepared by the Data Integration Center (CID) and which closed at 8 p.m. this Tuesday, November 12, as indicated by this organization in a statement.
Of the 215 identifications, 167 have been produced through fingerprint analysis and 45 by DNA, while three cases correspond to hospital identification while alive.
For their part, the ante-mortem offices, enabled by the National Police and the Civil Guard in collaboration with the forensic doctors, currently have 17 active files for disappearance reports, six less than those registered until yesterday, Monday, at 8 p.m.
Both parameters, active disappearances and the total number of fatalities, are different, so “they should not be added in any case.” The ante-mortem files of missing persons that are active correspond exclusively to complaints where relatives have provided different information and provided biological samples at police offices that will allow the subsequent identification of their loved ones.
In this way, compared to the balance of the previous day, this Tuesday there is one new fatality recorded, one more autopsy performed, four new identifications of deceased people and six fewer active disappearance reports. At this time there are no bodies pending identification.
On the other hand, the morgue set up in Fira Valencia, to which all the bodies are referred from the City of Justice of Valencia once the autopsy has been carried out, has delivered the remains of 185 of them to their families until 8 pm this Tuesday. the deceased people identified, 18 more deliveries than those made until yesterday, Monday at the same time.
