DescriptionForty-five bodies have been found at a flooded-out hospital, a state health official said today amid otherwise encouraging signs large and small that New Orleans is climbing back two weeks after it was slammed by Hurricane Katrina.

The bodies were located Sunday at 317-bed Memorial Medical Center, which was abandoned more than a week ago after it was surrounded by floodwaters, said Bob Johannesen, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Hospitals. He said the bodies were those of patients, but he had no other information.

The Louisiana death toll rose to 279, up from 197 on Sunday, Johannesen said.
