Heat Wave Claims Four Lives in Portland
Description
Four possible heat-related deaths are under investigation in Multnomah County following a brutal heat wave that pushed temperatures into the 90s. Victims ranged in age from 47 to 82, all passing Monday — a sobering reminder that extreme heat can strike even those with homes. Since 2022, the county has recorded 16 heat-related fatalities, mostly men over 60 with underlying health issues — and nearly 90% had shelter. Stay safe, check on neighbors, and review the county’s heat safety tips before the next wave hits.
