4th heat-related death confirmed

MADISON, Wis. (AP) – Wisconsin health officials have confirmed
another heat-related death.
The Sauk County coroner says an 87-year-old City of Reedsburg
woman was found dead in her trailer last week. The trailer
apparently did not have air conditioning.
It’s the fourth confirmed heat-related death in Wisconsin that
happened during last week’s heat wave.
The others are an 80-year-old Illinois man who died from
heat-related causes while staying at his second home in Marquette
County; a 65-year-old Columbia County man; and an 82-year-old
Prairie du Chien woman.
