The Marion County Coroner's Office is investigating three deaths that they believe could be linked to the winter storm.

The coroner's office says a man died on Saturday after being found without a functioning heat source. Also on Saturday, a woman died in her home after suffering from possible hypothermia.

And on Monday, the coroner's office said another woman died; she was found in the snow next to a shovel.

In all three cases, the manner of death is still pending.
