On 30 July 2019, Barrington was doing her report on a truck toxic spill at 16 Mile and VanDyke. Later, a few folks around her became sick and eventually turn into zombies. A vigilante with a gun began to shoot at the zombies. Despite her warning, the vigilante shot at the gas tank of the truck, causing it to explode. Claire\u2019s phone went dead during the broadcast. Russ Lindberg<\/a> saw the big fire and could not see Claire, it was assumed she died in the explosion. However, the next morning,\u00a0CNN<\/a>\u00a0reported Claire to be found in a zombie-like state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
