(AP) — A third death in Florida is being blamed on Hurricane Dorian.
Brevard County Medical Examiner's Office manager Craig Engleson says that on Sunday, a 68-year-old man fell to his death while putting up plywood hurricane shutters.
Another Florida medical examiner says a 38-year-old landscaper was electrocuted Saturday while trimming trees in preparation for the storm's arrival.
The unidentified man worked for a landscaping company hired by a hotel in Naples, Florida. The Medical Examiner's Office in Collier County says the man was trimming trees that had grown into power lines.
Jailene Hernandez, a medical examiner's investigator, says a co-worker witnessed the man get electrocuted.
At least four storm-related deaths have been reported on the U.S. mainland, three in Florida and one in North Carolina. All have involved men who were trimming trees or otherwise getting ready for the storm.
Dorian is currently moving up the East Coast as a Category 2 hurricane. The storm devastated the Bahamas as it moved over the islands earlier this week, causing at least 20 deaths.
