Long Island Man Dies While Shoveling Snow

A 65-year-old Lindenhurst man died after he collapsed in his driveway while shoveling snow during Thursday's blizzard, Suffolk Police said Friday evening.

Police responded to a 911 call that came in at 3:28 p.m. regarding an unconscious male in the driveway at a home on 16th Street.

Daniel Willis, who had been shoveling snow at the time of the incident, was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip where he was pronounced dead.

Earlier Friday, county officials said two people had died in Suffolk County while shoveling or blowing snow Thursday, but Suffolk Police Chief of Department Stuart Cameron said in statement that Willis's death was the only weather-related fatality reported to the police department Thursday.

A wind chill advisory is in effect on Long Island until 8 a.m. Sunday. Wind chill temperatures are expected to drop to as low as 20 degrees below zero. The cold wind chills will cause frostbite in as little as 30 minutes to exposed skin.
