The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office has received a total of 37 bodies from the Oso mudslide, although seven other people are still listed as missing since the March 22 disaster.
The death toll rose to 37 Tuesday morning, as searchers continued to scour the massive debris field for more victims.
The full list of the identified fatalities is available at the bottom of this story. One body remains unidentified. The slide leveled at least 35 houses and 14 other homes and dammed the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River on March 22.
The debris field stretches over one square mile. Some survivors were rescued in the immediate aftermath of the mudslide on that Saturday morning, but hundreds of searchers, including local volunteers scouring the area for family members and friends, and specially trained dogs have found no signs of life since then.
