A 91-year-old South Carolina man who tried to fix a broken water pipe outside of his home on Christmas day was found dead on Monday, the Anderson County Coroner’s office said in a news release.Â
Marvin Eugene Henley, 91, went outside his home around 10 p.m. ET on Christmas day in an attempt to repair “a broken water pipe,” the release said.  Â
“The victim came back in the residence a short time later and change some of his wet clothes and then went back outside to continue work on the water pipe,” the release said.  Â
Henley was previously reported missing, according to the release, and was found dead Monday afternoon, around 2:45 p.m. ET. Â
The coroner’s office ruled Henley’s death an “accidental death due to cold environmental exposure.” Â
Anderson County, South Carolina, counted Henley’s death as the second winter storm-related death, the release said. Â
The first winter storm-related death was a man who died on Christmas Eve due to a lack of power in his home, according to a separate news release from the department. Â
“It appears that after the power went out, the decedent was attempting to prepare his portable oxygen device when he collapsed,” the release said. Â
The unidentified man’s death, “has been ruled a natural death due to underlying medical condition with Winter Storm Elliott as a contributory cause of the death,” the coroner’s office said. Â
