Heat suspected of killing four people (updated)

Update (1:04 p.m. August 4): Heat is suspected of killing two more people, bringing the total number of deaths believed to be caused by the extreme weather up to four. Not a lot is known other than the Jackson County Medical Examiner is investigating, and we may not get answers for weeks or months.

Oddly, the city says to check out the health department’s Twitter and Facebook pages for “updates on the number of suspected heat-related deaths.” Morbid.
