Deaths

What the National Weather Service wrote

The high temperatures were in the upper 80s to lower 90s, with heat index values in the lower 90s during the peak heating of the day. Two young children died after being left in a vehicle for approximately 15 hours mainly during the overnight hours. Appears from the story that this is not the normal child heat death from accidentally being left in a car, but more of child abuse case with the kids known to be in the car. Heat appears however to be the main cause of death.
