As temperatures neared century-old records for the second consecutive day, health officials Tuesday reported surges in heat-related illnesses and even deaths.
Three people have died from heat-related illnesses since this past weekend and nine have died since last month ? the second-hottest June on record ? according to the state?s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. On Sunday, a 60-year-old man died in Carroll County and a 73-year-old man died in Prince George?s County. A 54-year-old man died in Calvert County Friday, department spokesman Jon Hammond said.
