“Further tests and investigation will determine whether the deaths are officially hot-weather-related," officials said. "In some cases, the deaths may be found to have had other causes."
The state medical examiner has not yet revealed whether there were any commonalities between these deaths, meaning it is unclear if they were unhoused or living alone without air conditioning.
