A piece of news broke over the internet that a Buffalo man was frozen to death, and people were trying to search for his video. It was reported that the video was available on the internet.
His family said the man was found dead after being frozen on his 56th birthday during the never-forgetting winter storm, which was constantly happening on Christmas Eve.
It was known that the relatives discovered a frozen man lying face down in the snow at Bailey avenue and Kensington avenue in Eerie County, and that man was identified to be William Clay.
A strong source said the disturbing video of the frozen man who was dead was circulating over the internet. The local authorities said this was the third death that occurred due to the monstrous storm.
The name of the person found dead has not been revealed by the police, but Sophie Clay, William’s sister, shared a post on her Facebook account where she wrote her brother was missing.
She added in the post that her brother would often go to nearby 7-Eleven. A few hours later, he was found but declared dead. A GoFundMe was set up to cover all his funeral expenses.
His sister wrote on the GoFundMe page, “I am the sister of the gentleman that lost his life during the 2022 Blizzard on 12/24/2022. My brother unexpectedly lost his life on his Birthday.”
Laura LaShomb, another relative, informed family and friends through Facebook that William was found frozen and dead after he went to a store. Laura added William was not taking his medication despite being mentally ill.
William’s dead body was found a mile away from his house, as per Sophie. Jules, William’s son, said he had a conversation before his father died and told him that he loved him. Jules wrote on his Facebook account, “This pain is overwhelming. I can’t stop crying.”
His autopsy report has not been released as the medical examiner hasn’t completed the autopsy. During the winter storm, two people in Cheektowaga died as they failed to get a response from anyone.
On Friday, the storm dropped 22 inches. This was more than previous storms, as in 1976, the snowdrop was recorded to be 12.6 inches.
