Hurricane Irene has led to the deaths of at least 40 people in 11 states. The total is derived from state and local law enforcement agencies, emergency officials and family members: - In Prospect, 89-year-old Charlotte Levine was killed early Sunday when a falling tree limb pulled power lines onto her house and started a fire.

Family members of a man who was shot by his wife on a hunting trip in central Newfoundland bowed their heads and wept as a video of the scene of his death was played in court on Monday.

The first video released of the 33 men trapped deep in a Chilean copper mine shows the men stripped to the waist and appearing slim but healthy, arm-in-arm, singing the national anthem and yelling "long live Chile, and long live the miners!" - images that bolstered family members' spirits Friday.

Anxious family members watched Monday from a nearby hill as dive teams searched an Idaho reservoir for four missing men who may have gone overboard during a prank gone awry.

Anxious family members toured the campground Sunday where their loved ones were staying when they were swept away by a flash flood, allowed to see for themselves the steep terrain that made escaping the rising water in darkness so difficult.

An assistant federal public defender found strangled in her Oregon home was strong and athletic and would not have been easily overpowered, family members say.
