No relief in sight from torrid temperatures | Columbia Valley, Cranbrook, East Kootenay, Elk Valley, Kimberley

Posted: July 18, 2021 “Perceptions,” by Gerry Warner Op-Ed Commentary There are three situations it’s dangerous to experience in B.C. this torrid summer – to be a senior, to be a senior living alone and to be a senior living in an apartment without air conditioning. Sad to say – tragic even – if these three conditions apply to your situation you may be departing this mortal coil sooner than you planned. According to the latest figures issued by the BC Coroner’s Office July 2, some 719 British Columbians died suddenly for no apparent reason in the period June 25 to July 1 about three times the normal total expected over a typical summer week. Of course, that particular week was anything but “normal” with the province experiencing a searing heat wave that broke records from the normally mild Lower Mainland to the sagebrush benches of the Fraser Canyon and the arid hills surrounding Kamloops.

Deaths during B C heat wave climb past 800

None of the deaths has been confirmed as heat-related and investigators are still working to establish how and why so many more people died than in previous years, the B.C. Coroners Service said. Death by heat is notoriously hard to track as rising temperatures can trigger chronic illnesses or get recorded as heart or kidney failure. However, last week, B.C.’s chief coroner Lisa Lapointe said she suspects at least a portion of the spike in deaths to be heat related. Many of those who died were found alone in poorly ventilated apartments as a “heat dome” blanketed much of the province.

Number of deaths recorded during B C s heat wave up to 808, coroners say

VANCOUVER The number of deaths recorded across British Columbia during the province s recent record-breaking heat wave has climbed to 808, according to coroners. Those deaths were recorded from June 25 through July 1, as a brutal heat dome sent temperatures soaring to dangerous highs in many communities. The deadliest day was Tuesday, June 29 – the same day the Village of Lytton experienced 46.9 C heat, setting a new Canadian record and topping the hottest temperature ever registered in Las Vegas. Officials have yet to confirm exactly how many of the 808 deaths were directly related to heat, but the average number of deaths reported during the same period over the previous five years was 198. Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe has noted many of the deaths involved seniors who lived alone in poorly ventilated homes.
