A 58-year-old woman died of a heart attack very early Friday after St. Lucie County suspended emergency services during high winds in the storm. The woman’s death is considered storm-related because the fire district was unable to respond because of high winds associated with Hurricane Matthew, fire district spokeswoman Brenda Stokes reported.
