As humans heat the planet, largely by burning fossil fuels, more people are dying in extreme heat. Their deaths are often recorded as accidents or attributed to other conditions that heat exacerbates. This piece tells the tragic stories of people who died preventably in extreme heat in Phoenix, AZ.
Americans are dying from extreme heat. Autopsy reports don’t show the full story
Official reports are likely to overlook heat’s role in a death. As US temperatures rise, experts say the true toll needs to be counted
