With about 1,300 people still reported missing, Green said he expects the search through the smoldering remains of Lahaina to last another 10 days, which, given his estimate, would mean the total death count could climb as high as 300, or about triple the current 96.
“There are more fatalities that will come,” Green told CBS on Sunday. “The fire was so hot that what we find is the tragic finding that you would imagine. … It’s hard to recognize anybody. But they’re able to determine if someone did perish.
“They will find 10 to 20 people per day probably until they finish. And it’s probably going to take 10 days. It’s impossible to guess, really,” he said.
So far, officials estimate that only 3% of the affected area has been searched, with police and fire officials previously concluding that a complete search could take weeks or even a month to complete.
