An infant has been confirmed as the latest fatality in the aftermath of devastating tornadoes that struck Kentucky earlier this month, bringing the state’s official death toll to 77, Gov. Andy Beshear said on Monday.
Beshear told reporters that the infant, from hard-hit Graves County in the western part of the state, died last week. Dozens of children were killed in the storms that raked a five-state region, including one twister that plowed a 227-mile path of destruction through western Kentucky.
