A severe cold snap in Washington, D.C., has led to multiple suspected hypothermia deaths, with temperatures remaining below freezing for nine consecutive days—the longest such stretch in over 35 years. Following a winter storm that brought significant snow and ice, the extreme cold poses a significant risk, especially to vulnerable populations such as the unhoused and the elderly. At least three deaths in D.C. are suspected to be due to hypothermia, and investigations are ongoing in Virginia and Maryland regarding additional fatalities. The D.C. Chief Medical Examiner is awaiting confirmation on the causes of death.
