CHICAGO, Illinois (Reuters) --
Oppressive heat baked the United
States from the mountainous West
to the Atlantic seaboard Tuesday.
In Missouri, 15 heat-related deaths have
been reported, seven of them in the
Kansas City area alone. The dead in
recent days included an 85-year-old
woman and a 77-year-old man. Both
were found in their homes where neither
had air conditioning and had been using
fans to try to keep cool.
One safety group said 27 children have
died so far this year from heatstroke
after being left inside cars, including a
3-year-old Missouri boy left inside a
vehicle Sunday while his parents went to
church.
