The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy has left at least 55 people dead across the US. President Obama has called the storm "heartbreaking for the nation".

In New York, the death toll in the city from storm has now reached 22, according to the New York Police Department (NYPD). Those who died include an off-duty police officer, who drowned after rescuing his family, a man who died after a tree fell into his home and a woman who was was killed after stepping on a live electrical wire outside her home.

But the first US victim was also one of the first victims of the Hurricane. Bronx resident Kenah Huggins died, not on the mainland US but in Puerto Rico, drowned by a flooded river five days ago.

Since then at least another 132 people have died, from the Caribbean up to the east coast of the United States. This makes it a total of 133 people or more who have died.

This map shows the locations of all the deaths we could locate.

The greatest number were in Haiti - which was not in the path of the hurricane but hit by extreme flooding in a country still recovering from the earthquake in 2010.

If you look at the rate per million population it shows just how hard the smaller countries of the Caribbean were hit:
