WINCHESTER, Ind. -- Officials with the Indianapolis office of the National Weather Service announced on Monday that one person has died after sustaining injuries in relation to mid-March's tornado.
One of the victims of the Winchester tornado on March 14 died "with injuries sustained from the tornado as a contributing factor to the death," according to the National Weather Service.
Two tornados were reported on March 14, one an EF-2 through Delaware County and Selma and another an EF-3 through Randolph County and Winchester. During this incident, 37 people were injured.
The tornados in mid-March caused extensive damage in both Selma and Winchester, causing many homes and other buildings to be destroyed. Thousands of individuals were without power and Indiana state officials provided resources for recovery efforts.
Officials with the Indianapolis office of the National Weather Service did not identify the person who died. In a statement from the Delaware County Coroner's Office, officials confirmed that a person had died, but said that they are "still investigating to see if the tornado itself was a cause or contributing factor in (their) death."
