Texas Discloses Preliminary Fatality Count Due To The Recent Winter Storm

The Texas Tribune’s reporter, Juan Garnham said that a minimum of 57 individuals died due to the winter storm in the US state.

Anyhow, other causes could also exist, such as car crashes, issues with things like medical equipment or others, plus carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

That said, it is worth noting that the death count could go up as time passes. Why? Because it appears that a few big counties and several counties, as a whole, are yet to report any data. For instance, the death count information for Travis County, Dallas County, and Tarrant County does not exist.
