Coroners Service sounds warning after three cold-related deaths
KAMLOOPS — The BC Coroners Service has a rare warning to BC residents about the recent cold snap.
Spokesperson Barb McLintock says three people have died in the course of the past two weeks, with their deaths partly related to cold weather.
“It’s a little bit much. We thought getting three in a couple of weeks like that, which is what prompted us to put this out. This seems to be a very cold snap, which seems to be going on for more days than it normally does.”
McLintock says two of those deaths took place in the Cariboo-Chilcotin.
