The Oregon State Medical Examiner released another stark tally of those who perished during the historic heat wave last month.
New state figures show at least 116 people succumbed to the harsh heat and sun that bore down on the Pacific Northwest from June 25 to June 28.
At its peak, temperatures reached a record-shattering 116 degrees in the Portland metro area.
The new tally provided by the Oregon State Police on July 7 provides no identifying details beyond the age, gender and county of residence of those who died a stark listing of demographics that offers few hints of the human tragedy that unfolded.
