What is the current death toll in Kentucky due to the winter weather crisis, and what's causing these fatalities?

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has reported at least 14 deaths across the state, with two new fatalities since Monday. These recent deaths involved an unhoused man and woman in the Louisville area who died from hypothermia amid plummeting temperatures. The dangerous winter conditions continue to threaten residents, particularly those without power. With thousands of Kentuckians lacking electricity and temperatures dropping, emergency crews are struggling to restore power. The governor is urging those without heat to seek emergency shelters immediately to prevent further weather-related casualties.
