We'll return for your sister's body, the rescuers said. Two months on
she was still in the house

Nobody knows how long Deborah "Bodie" Fisher, 85, had been trapped in
her home with the corpse of her younger sister, Delia "Sis" Holloway,
82, upstairs, and 2ft of flood water downstairs when help finally
floated by on September 2.
It was five days after New Orleans's levees had broken. Bodie waded
downstairs to tell the rescuers to leave her alone. "My sister is
upstairs," she told them. "Let me die here with my sister." Then she
slammed the door and went back in.
