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

Officers were called to the 6900 block of Northwest Loop 820 Service Road at 12:55 p.m. Wednesday about a unresponsive male in a tent, according to a press release.<\/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

Just a day before, police responded to a call on the 2900 block of East Seminary Drive at 4:41 p.m. about an unresponsive female in a field.<\/p>\n

She was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Her death is also suspected to be weather related.<\/p>\n

The winter storm has killed at least 11 people in Texas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Among the deceased\u00a0are three North Texas brothers who drowned after falling through ice on a pond<\/a>. All boys were under 10 years old and not publicly named.<\/p>\n

Two\u00a0teenagers also died in Frisco<\/a>\u00a0after a sledding accident. The teens were riding on a sled being pulled by a vehicle when it hit a curb and a tree.<\/p>\n
