General Motors, going through a nightmare of a scandal, has approved claims for 19 deaths related to the faulty ignition switches.
Ryan Beene of Automotive News reports that the tally is six more than the auto giant had officially linked.
The publication says that the GM compensation fund, overseen by independent lawyer Ken Feinberg, will now have to determine the amount of compensation that will be doled out.
The claims are among 125 death claims submitted as of Sept. 12 to the GM compensation program, Automotive News reports, which adds that the other 106 cases are under review or awaiting further documentation.
