The death toll from the Maui wildfire in Lahaina, Hawaii has been revised down from 115 to 97 after weeks of DNA analysis to confirm victims' identities.

The number of people unaccounted for has also decreased to 31, and authorities have located most of the individuals previously thought to be missing.
