Elderly Man in Critical Frostbite After Chicken Coop Stay
An about 60 year old man spent a week in near zero cold in a chicken house near Huntington and remains in critical condition at Saint Mary's hospital. Doctors fear loss of both hands and both feet due to severe frostbite. He was found by City-County Health Director Luke W Frame and a Public Health Nurse after neighbors reported his plight. Dr Frame noted swollen red hands face and eyes and his inability to speak above a mumble. A piece of corn bread and bologna lay near the coop. His family said he moved into the chicken house of his own free will, and officials said efforts to admit him earlier were unsuccessful. The case is being referred to the department of public assistance for investigation.
