ALICE, Texas â February s Arctic blast claimed a number of lives across the state including the death of a man inside his home just outside of Alice.
In a lawsuit filed on Friday, Melissa Villanueva says her live-in boyfriend Abelino Guzman was struggling to breathe and his skin was turning purple on February 16.
Their home was without power like millions of others across the state.
The lawsuit states that the temperature inside was approximately 32 degrees. It is a very, very difficult thing to see your loved one freezing to death and have nothing you can do about it,â an attorney for Guzman s family, Patrick Luff, said.
