A man of Irish descent was discovered lifeless within his Florida residence, due to the damaging impact of a local hurricane over the previous weekend. The individual, named Aidan Bowles (of 71 years), was discovered within his Indian Rocks Beach abode by investigative officers, apparently having succumbed to the rising waters that infiltrated his home amid Hurricane Helene as per revelation by the Pinellas County’s Sheriff Department.
Hurricane Helene has been attributed to the fatal end of over 90 individuals since its arrival the preceding week, wreaking havoc in certain sectors of the US southeast. Nine fatalities within the region have been affirmed by Pinellas County’s law enforcement following the destructive hurricane.
It is worth mentioning that Mr Bowles’s dwelling was located within a zone deemed necessary for evacuation, a directive which was issued prior to the touchdown of Hurricane Helene. Mr Bowles, originally hailing from Ireland, had supposedly resided in America for a considerable time period.
Queries regarding his unfortunate demise were directed towards the Department of Foreign Affairs. A Monday report by The New York Times provided further insight into Mr Bowles’s life, stating that he was a retired legal professional who ran a sports bar in close proximity to his home in Indian Rocks Beach, an area housing approximately 3,600 individuals. It also outlined that Mr Bowles had been a regular visitor to Indian Rocks Beach since the 1980s and had decided to shift there permanently about 15 years ago after a period of living in Kentucky.
