SYRACUSE - A weather-related death happened early Thursday morning to an elderly resident.
Mildred Brown, 97, of 11651 N. Ogden Point Road, Syracuse, apparently died from hypothermia after a fall. According to the Syracuse Police Dept., it is believed that Brown left her residence sometime in the early morning hours to visit friends across the street and slipped on ice on the neighbor's porch, sustaining a head injury.
Temperatures throughout the area were between -10 and -17 degrees at that time. She was not discovered until approximately 9:30 a.m. Thursday.
"Mrs. Brown was in very good health for her age," said Syracuse Town Marshal Tony Ciriello. "She wasn't taking any medication. Her death is completely weather related."
