Pregnant woman dies after shoveling snow outside home

Friends and family are mourning a pregnant teen who died after shoveling snow outside her home.

A family member told WCAU that 18-year-old Briahna Gerloff collapsed after shoveling snow outside her home at about 9 a.m Saturday.

“I told her it probably wasn’t a good idea for her to be outside shoveling,” a family member, who was not identified, told WCAU. “She wanted to do it anyway.”

The family member said he went across the street to take a break while Gerloff went back inside. When the family member returned the front door was locked.

He entered the house through the basement door, and after searching for Gerloff throughout the house, the family member entered the kitchen where he found her unresponsive on the floor.
