Elderly Woman Died After Mistaking Heat For AC
CINCINNATI, Ohio -- An elderly Cincinnati woman died because of extreme heat last week after she turned on her heat instead of her air conditioning, according to the Hamilton County Coroner.
Fannie Shockley, 84, apparently misread her thermostat last Tuesday, June 23, and turned on the furnace while temperatures were as high as 87 degrees Fahrenheit outside.
The coroner said the incident was the first heat-related death in the city this year.
