A father of 5 is among at least 37 dead in the Kentucky floods as battered infrastructure hampers search for the missing
CNN
Gabriel Hensley, a father of five who stopped to help an injured driver and was later swept away by floodwaters himself was found dead this week, as the storm damage across eastern Kentucky complicates efforts to find the many people still unaccounted for.
"He was a hero," his wife, Macy, told CNN. "He was the one that was out helping people instead of worrying about himself."
Hensley, 30, is among at least 37 people who died in last week's flooding. Heavily damaged infrastructure has made some communities nearly impossible to access, and accounting for everyone will likely be a weekslong process, Gov. Andy Beshear said.
