SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) - Wildlife officials are doing tests on waterfowl carcasses and water samples in an effort to determine what killed more than 50 geese and ducks at a state care facility for veterans in northern Ohio.

Police tell the Sandusky Register the birds were collected and buried last weekend at the grounds of the Ohio Veterans Home near Sandusky. The property includes a nursing home and living spaces for clients that require less assistance.

A spokesman for the Division of Wildlife says water samples and dead birds were collected from the property for testing, though he wasn't sure how quickly the results might be available.
