A man died of heat-related reasons Tuesday just a block away from several hospitals, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
The 64-year-old man, whose name has yet to be released, died of cardiovascular disease complications and heat stress in the 1000 block of South Wood Street Tuesday around 6 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
His death in the 1000 block of South Wood Street makes for 10 deaths related to heat this year in Cook County, the highest number of deaths in a single year in more than a decade, according to a WBEZ and Chicago Sun-Times analysis of data from the medical examiner’s office.
In 2019 and again in 2022, six people died from heat-related causes.
The others whose deaths have at least in part been attributed to the heat this year are Joseph Huff, 65; Robert Feldon, 77; Stephanie Rodriguez, 45; David Gonzalez, 44; Barbara Whigham, 71; Mike Rodriguez, 57; Daniel Machnikowski, 69; Victor Ferguson, 48; and David P. Sopys, 46.
