Governor Andy Beshear says that most of the deaths in the state were people in their 60s and 70s.

The governor announced that the state will dip into its storm relief fund and offer to pay $10,000 for the funerals of each of the dead.

Among the dead is an inmate at the Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex.

Officials say he was working with a crew to remove snow and ice when he fell and hit his head.

The death is being investigated by the Kentucky State Police.
