A man was found dead in his stranded truck, bringing the death toll to five after Tropical Storm Imelda flooded southeast Texas and parts of Louisiana.
Authorities in Texas have attributed a fifth death to the remnants of Tropical Storm Imelda, which caused widespread flooding in southeastern Texas and parts of Louisiana.
Jefferson County spokeswoman Allison Getz said Saturday that 52-year-old Mark Dukaj of Florida was found dead Thursday in his stranded pickup truck on Interstate 10 just west of Beaumont, which is near Texas’ border with Louisiana. She didn’t know where in Florida he lived. Getz said floodwaters seeped into the pickup, but emergency personnel don’t believe Dukaj drowned. She said investigators believed his death was related to the storm and an autopsy would be conducted.
