Tragic Weekend in Denver: Four Outdoor Deaths Blamed on Freezing Temperatures

It was a tragic and unsettling weekend for the residents of Denver as four people were found dead outdoors during the snowy, below-freezing weather.

The Denver Police Department is currently investigating the incidents, but they do not believe that the deaths are related to the cold temperatures.

According to a police spokesperson, the deaths, which occurred within a span of just over 24 hours, are not being treated as homicide investigations at this time. However, they assured the public that they will provide updates if the situation changes.

The first two deaths were reported on Saturday, one in the 2400 block of North Alcott Street and the other in the 1700 block of Wewatta Street. The announcements were made on social media as temperatures plummeted to below 20 degrees, as reported by the National Weather Service.

The third death was reported on Sunday morning in the area of East Colfax Avenue and St. Paul Street, while the fourth death was announced in the evening in the area of Broadway and Bayaud Avenue.

While no further information has been released about the names or causes of death of the victims, the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner is currently conducting further investigations and will provide updates as they become available.

The Denver Police Department has urged the public to exercise caution and stay indoors during the freezing temperatures to avoid any further tragedies.

The deaths have sparked concerns about the safety of the homeless population in Denver, who are especially vulnerable during severe weather conditions. However, authorities have not confirmed if any of the deceased were homeless individuals.

The freezing temperatures and snowfall have also caused disruptions and dangerous conditions for those without shelter or proper protection. In response, the city has opened up emergency warming shelters to provide refuge for those in need and has urged residents to check on their neighbors, particularly the elderly and vulnerable.
