Following the recent winter storms, the Louisiana Department of Health has confirmed two more winter weather-related deaths in the state. 

The first weather-related death of the year was confirmed on Jan. 9 in Rapides Parish. 65-year-old Carl Blackburn, a man who was living unhoused in Alexandria, died of hypothermia. 

The two more recent deaths took place in Pointe Coupee and Orleans parishes, according to the LDH. 

The Pointe Coupee Parish death was related to hypothermia, like Blackburn. The victim in this case was an 85-year-old man. 

The Orleand Parish death was the result of a space heater-related fire. The victim in that case was a 60-year-old woman. 

No further information about these cases will be related, other than the parish coroners in them confirmed the deaths as weather-related.
