Over a hundred bodies unclaimed or unidentified is not the sign of a loving city. How many were people killed in New Orleans, a little less than 1500 with out checking. That about 7% of the bodies unwanted.
"Over a hundred bodies unclaimed or unidentified is not the sign of a loving city."
Many were homeless drifters. Plus there are people who have no living relatives who died, so no way to check DNA, etc. It is a stretch of the imagination to say that the bodies were unwanted. They most likely had no one close to them when they were alive. Some people are still looking for lost relatives who likely got washed back into a bayou or the river.
