TORONTO – A 29-year-old Toronto man has died after he was found in the driveway of his home, close to his overturned wheelchair, in the extreme cold early Sunday morning.
Just before 7 a.m., paramedics found the man without a pulse and suffering from hypothermia on Allanhurst Drive.
They took him to Humber River Hospital in critical condition and he later died.
The man’s mother, who lives with him, said she last talked to him around 10 p.m. Saturday before he went out with friends and then took a cab home.
Toronto is under an extreme cold weather alert, and the temperature at the time was -25 C, feeling like -40 with the windchill.
The city is providing extra shelter beds and services for the homeless.
This whole cold weather thing is getting a bit out of hand
