Man Killed Removing Storm Debris in Upper Milford

Hurricane Sandy hit Upper Milford Township hard with storm damage and power outages - and now a fatality, according to the Lehigh County coroner.

Jerome Tyson, 38, of New Tripoli, was pronounced dead Saturday in the emergency department of Lehigh Valley Hospital, Salisbury Township. 

Tyson was clearing debris from the hurricane at 6761 Crown Lane in Upper Milford when there was some sort of accident.

The coroner says Tyson's cause and manner of death are pending an autopsy to be done today.

At least four other Lehigh Valley residents died as a result of the storm.

In New Jersey, a man died in a chain saw accident trimming trees after the hurricane.
