A 71-year-old man died this week in California’s Death Valley National Park after experiencing severe heat.
Other park visitors noticed the man collapsed outside a restroom in Golden Canyon on Tuesday afternoon. He was wearing hiking clothes and a heat-protective hat, and officials say he likely was walking on one of the area’s popular trails.
After the visitors called 911 at 3:40 p.m., park rangers arrived and tried to revive the man with CPR and external defibrillation, but they were unsuccessful.This marks the second death this month in Death Valley in heat-related incidents. The first came July 3 when a 65-year-old man died in the park.
Heat stroke is dangerous and can happen easily in a park like Death Valley where temperatures regularly skyrocket. According to the national weather service, the park has experienced 28 days of 100-plus degrees this year. Visitors are advised to be conscious of their health and to hike short distances or sightsee in their air-conditioned cars.
