8:14Now PlayingJamaica was so badly battered by Hurricane Melissa that officials still have no idea how many people died, government officials grimly admitted — with just four deaths confirmed on Wednesday.

“We have not had alerts of any deaths so far. So we cannot presume that there are deaths,” he added.
