Man found frozen to death in his recliner in Texas as winter storm death toll rises

One man has been found frozen to death in his recliner in Texas, as at least 24 people have died due to the winter storm.

Abilene Fire Chief Cande Flores revealed that three people died in Abilene, Texas, this week due to frigid temperatures, according to KTXS.

The official identified one of the deaths as a homeless man who died of exposure to the elements. He was in his late 50s or 60s and was found outside on Monday morning.

Another man was found dead in his home after he was left without power for three days. Resident Josh Casey told Facebook users that the man "froze to death in his recliner" and his wife was "nearly dead" next to him. She has since been taken to the hospital.
