Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. South florida nursing home is now facing a criminal investigation after eight patients died in sweltering conditions. The deaths happened after the facility lost air conditioning during Hurricane Irma. Rescue crews had to evacuate the home. It is now closed. More than 150 elderly patients were stranded in near 90degree heat. The discovery led state and local officials to order inspections of other nursing facilities. That nursing home in hollywood, florida, told county officials the day before that there was no electricity, but the facility did not evacuate the patients there. Jonathan vigliotti is outside the center with the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning, gayle. On the scale of this tragedy is highlighted by how close this nursing home was to help. It is across the street from a hospital, literally 15 steps from a building that had working power and air conditioning. Now this morning as you can imagine so many people asking why more wasnt done to prevent this tragedy from happening. I open my eyes, i said oh my god [ speaking in Foreign Language ] reporter Carmen Rodriguez family to the oldest victim. Hollywood police chief tom sanchez says investigators believe the deaths were heat related. They were utilizing portable ac units which were insignificant to reduce the excessive heat in the facility. Reporter at 3 00 a. M. Wen wednesday fire rescue crews responded to a cardiac arrest, an hour later another 911 call, a patient having trouble breathing. A fire official reported concerns about the facility, when rescuers responded to a third call, they found three dead bodies on the second floor, that was described as extremely hot, an Evacuation Order began 6 15 a. M. In coordination with staff from Memorial Hospital across the street. It took three hours to evacuate all 158 patients. Many filed out on stretchers and in wheelchairs. They were taken to various local hospitals and treated for respiratory distress, dehydration and heat related issues. Family members frantically searched for loved ones. The nursing home has a poor record with regulators and is ranked as much below average with a one out of five rating on a federal nursing home ranking website, and a statement the facility says they immediately contacted Florida Power and light after the air conditioning broke down and also reached out to local and emergency First Responders. Floridas senator bill nelson has asked for a federal investigation into the incident. I think it is an emerging scandal of gargantuan proportions. Reporter police went door to door yesterday inspecting all of the citys 42 Nursing Homes. Were told one was also found without power, and those inside had to be evacuated, and now some members of family that were inside this nursing home say theyre frustrated. They didnt actually hear from the staff at all. Some of the first calls they got were from media and reporters, looking for interviews. Charlie . Thank you so much, jonathan. With us now is florida, from florida the mayor, joseph leave levy, good morning. Good morning. Obviously an investigation is goinging to under way. What can you tell us where you have a situation where something is described as an oven. How could this happen . Look, were so saddened by this occurrence to have eight people lose their life due to the apparent negligence of the staff of a nursing home facility that couldnt raise the red flag soon enough, and it wasnt until the paramedics arrived and the calls came in that it was demanded that inspection of the entire facility take place until dead bodies were discovered. There are so many questions. What do you say, what offends most people is theres a hospital right across the street that had air conditioned facilities. Im sure youve asked the question to the staff about what happened here, why didnt you guys do something. What is the answer that you have gotten . Clearly as you can imagine theres an ongoing criminal investigation, the only persons with the city of hollywood that this staff was interviewing with yesterday would have been homicide investigators. 150 of the 700 Nursing Homes in florida are reportedly without power, there are also 42 other facilities in hollywood where you are. What can you say about assuring people who have family members here that this wont happen again . Look, we live in florida. We are in a tropical climate. Hurricanes are a fact of life and when state regulators enact laws requiring, for example, the idea of backup generators for Nursing Homes, they need to be aware that needs to be enforced, that needs to be regulated and required, and florida its interesting, we require gas stations to have backup generators, but apparently given how many nursing home facilities in florida were reported, 150 you say, to not have power still right now or as of yesterday, it doesnt seem like theres a requirement for Nursing Homes to have a backup generator but yet for gas stations we do. How fast will it take you to change that . Look, i know that this event will raise awareness to this circumstan circumstance. I expect the legislature going into session later this year actually will not avoid looking at this. This needs to be looked at right away by our state and the regulating agencies and action needs to be taken. I think this makes it more clear than ever. Mayor josh levy, were sorry for what people had to suffer there. Thank you for joining us this morning. President trump will fly to southwest florida this morning to see the hurricane damage. County official said eight people died in the florida keys during irma. The deaths were storm related and due to natural causes. At least 40 people injured. The lower keys are still blocked off.

Reporter First Responders are painstakingly searching through every one of them, looking for anyone, dead or alive. In this case we do it quickly with the dogs, and if they get a hit, then we begin the process of taking the structure apart and hopefully locating somebody. Reporter carlos cabvillo has worked for nearly three straight weeks after deploying to texas after hurricane harvey. The willingness of service, thats what the team is about and the members are here, they want to come and serve. Reporter yesterday the temperature here in the keys was 93 degrees with 90 humidity.

The democrats say the potential agreement would replace daca, and that funding the border wall would not be part of the deal. But this morning the president tweeted no deal was made last night on daca. Massive Boarder Security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill to explain it all. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Decoding this, everyone is essentially saying the same thing, theyre just using different words. Essentially they did come to an agreement last night on a framework for how to deal with these young people. It involves taking the d. R. E. A. M. Act, granting them the chance to apply for legal status and pairing it with the Border Security measures republicans want without the border wall funding that democrats hate, but conservatives will see that as a betrayial and the white house knows that. Were going to mr. A wall, folks. Reporter white house aides insisted the president was not going back on that campaign promise, after Democratic Leaders said he had agreed to enshrine the protections of daca into law quickly and to work out a package of Border Security excluding the wall. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders quickly shot back while daca and Border Security were both discussed, excluding the wall was certainly not agreed to. More and more, trying to work things out together. Reporter the president made the same promiless to a Bipartisan Group of lawmakers earlier in the day. Democrat henry cuellar. Were not tying the wall to daca. Reporter democratic sources say mr. Trump has a soft spot for the d. R. E. A. M.

Theres no path to citizenship, no path to a green card and no amnesty. Amnesty is nonnegotiable. Reporter but President Trump himself countered this morning, does anybody really want to throw out good educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military . Really aides have said before, gayle, that he is okay leaving wall funding out of this package as long as he gets it in some other bill. All right, thank you, nancy.
