Number of heat-related deaths in Chicago up to 18CHICAGO — Authorities say the number of heat-related deaths in the Chicago area has risen to 18, despite the cooler temperatures. The Chicago Tribune reports (http://trib.in/PC0t9e ) the Cook County medical examiner's office determined Sunday that eight more people died from heat-related causes, adding to the 10 deaths previously confirmed Saturday.
Chicago saw three consecutive days of triple-digit temperatures in the past week.
The newspaper reports that heat wave that affected two-thirds of the nation has tied or broken nearly 3,400 maximum and minimum temperature records.
Among those included in the area's heat-related deaths are a 100-year-old woman, 65-year-old woman, a 53-year-old man, a 46-year-old woman and an unidentified man believed to be about 30 years old.
The National Weather Service is predicting cooler weather for the next few days.
