Fort Worth police responded to the second death this week believed to be cold weather-related in the wake of the weekend’s large winter storm. <\/p>\n

Fort Worth Fire EMS arrived the scene, where the man was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

No foul play is suspected, police said. <\/p>\n

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the official cause of death and identify the man.<\/p>\n
