Drowning deaths rise with the temperature | |
July 20, 2012 Along with soaring temperatures and rising humidity, the ongoing heat wave has contributed to a spike in drowning deaths in some suburban areas, authorities say. In Lake County, the coroner reports that accidental drownings have nearly doubled since last year, averaging about one a week this summer. Other counties also have had drownings this summer. And it's only mid-July. Source: http://dailyherald.com/article/20120720/news/707209933/ |
