LA PINE, Ore. — Authorities say a 66-year-old La Pine-area man who slipped and fell on his icy driveway after returning home Sunday evening was unable to get inside and apparently died of cold exposure.
KTVZ-TV reports deputies were called around 11:45 a.m. Monday about a man found lying in a driveway northeast of La Pine, Deschutes County Sheriff’s Sgt. William Bailey said.
Bailey says a deputy arrived nine minutes later and found Larry Campbell cold to the touch and beyond medical help.

The Pentagon will extend its mission along the southern border for eight months, the department said Monday, marking a significant lengthening of President Donald Trump’s involvement of the military in his effort to curb migration from Latin America.
Acting defense secretary Patrick Shanahan approved a request to provide the Department of Homeland Security with assistance though Sept. 30, the Pentagon said in a statement. Previously, the deployment of active duty forces along the border, which Trump ordered before the November midterm elections, was due to end Jan. 31.
