Jet Moses Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 US death toll hits 55 in ice storm, 24 in Kentucky FRANKFORT, Kentucky (AP) - Kentucky's governor is raising his state's death toll to 24 in a storm that caked several states in ice last week. That means at least 55 people have died in the storm nationwide. Gov. Steve Beshear says in a letter to President Barack Obama released Monday that 10 of the deaths were from carbon monoxide poisoning and at least nine others from hypothermia. The governor's office isn't giving details on the individual deaths. - AP http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/2/3/apworld/20090203075645&sec=apworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
