Deep freeze: 55-year-old Wisconsin man found frozen dead near his garage after shoveling snow
Charley Lampley was shoveling snow outside his home in Milwaukee when he was found unconscious near his detached garage
A 55-year-old man from Wisconsin was reportedly found "frozen" dead a few steps away from his home on Tuesday as a deep freeze caused by the polar vortex hit the Midwest this week, bringing brutally low temperatures to the region.
A Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office spokesperson said that Charley Lampley was shoveling snow outside his home in Milwaukee when he was found unconscious near his detached garage later, according to PEOPLE.
“When it was found it looked like he was frozen on the ground, obviously due to how cold its been here recently. But we don’t know if [the cold] played a role in the death," the spokesperson said.
