Death Toll From GM Ignition Switches Hits 51

The compensation fund for victims of General Motors' faulty ignition switch has determined that 121 claims are eligible, including those for 51 people who died, administrator Kenneth Feinberg told CNBC on Monday. GM was using different standards when it identified 13 eligible cases, Feinberg said in a "Squawk Box" interview. As of Monday morning, the compensation program had received 4,180 claims, but about 3,000 were either ineligible, lacked sufficient documentation or were filed with no documentation whatsoever, he said.
