<p>Authorities said on Tuesday they have not yet determined the cause of death.</p>
<p>Health officials working through the night on Monday retrieved 71 bodies, officials in Bihar state said.</p>
<p>Images on social media of the bodies floating in the river prompted outrage and speculation that they died from Covid-19.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Authorities performed post-mortem examinations on Tuesday but said they could not confirm the cause of death due to the decomposition of the bodies.</p>
<p>More corpses were found floating in the river on Tuesday, washing up in Ghazipur district in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh state.</p>
<p>Police and villagers were at the site, about 50 kilometres (30 miles) from Monday’s incident.</p>
<p>“We are trying to find out where did these dead bodies come from? How did they get here?” said Mangla Prasad Singh, a local official.</p>
<p>Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are experiencing rising Covid-19 cases as infections in India grow faster than anywhere else in the world.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, the country confirmed nearly 390,000 new cases, including 3,876 more deaths.</p>
<p>Overall, India has had the second highest number of confirmed cases after the US with nearly 23 million and more than 240,000 deaths.</p>
<p>All of the figures are almost certainly a vast undercount, experts say</p>
