"More than 100 people in Oregon have died as a result of the record-breaking
heat wave that has blanketed the Pacific Northwest in recent weeks.
The Oregon Medical Examiner's Office reported the death toll at 116 people as
of Wednesday from 10 different counties statewide, The Oregonian reported.
In Multnomah County, the most populated, five deaths were reported on Wednesday
alone, bringing the county's total to 72 victims.
The number is steadily growing; last week, the medical examiner's office
reported at least 63 deaths statewide, a number that jumped to 94 on Friday and
107 on Tuesday, according to The Oregonian.
The intense heat has shattered records in the area; temperatures on June 28 hit
a record-high 116 degrees — the third day in a row that the record was broken,
the National Weather Service said."
