Six people have died as a result of last week's windstorm, according to the Monroe County Department of Public Health.

Two individuals fell down stairs in homes without power, one person fell off a roof, and two individuals died in a house fire in Henrietta, health commissioner Dr. Michael Mendoza said Monday afternoon.

The fire is still being investigated, but Mendoza said information suggests it was related to the use of a generator at a home without power.

The office of the Monroe County Medical Examiner ruled the death of 70-year-old motorist Frank Palermo also was related to the storm.

Palermo, of Holley, collided with another vehicle about 7:45 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of Route 31 and South Union Street in Spencerport. Traffic signals had been knocked down during the storm Wednesday and had not yet been replaced. Stop signs were posted to indicate a four-way stop, but Ogden Police Chief Christopher Mears said they may not have been visible due to the power outage.
