What the passage says
- The South Carolina Department of Public Health reported two additional storm-related deaths: an 85‑year‑old man and a 91‑year‑old woman in Laurens County, both from hypothermia, with the coroner ruling them storm-related.
- It states that these two deaths bring the total number of storm-related deaths to six.
- It notes that earlier in the week officials had already confirmed the deaths of a 79‑year‑old man in Oconee County from a slip‑and‑fall on ice and a 59‑year‑old man in Charleston County from hypothermia.
Important clarification
State releases list a total of six storm‑related deaths that include not only the four people described in your passage, but also an 83‑year‑old woman in Lexington County and a 96‑year‑old woman in Greenwood County, both from hypothermia. Your excerpt focuses on four of the victims but still correctly states the total as six.
