Cold Spell Claims Three More Lives
Three more people died from subzero temperatures yesterday - two in Varna (on the Black Sea) and one in Devnia (northeast Bulgaria). The first casualty was a homeless person found frozen near the Stochna Gara neighborhood in the Bulgarian sea capital.
The 54-year-old Ilia M. was rushed to the hospital but it was too late for him. Another man presumably also victim of the cold weather was found in Devnia and taken to the hospital but died two hours later.
Thus the death toll from the cold spell in Bulgaria increased to 13. The arctic cold weather is expected to last until the end of the week.
