PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The death of a 56-year-old man is suspected of being caused by the current heat wave, the Multnomah County Medical Examiner’s Office said Sunday.
The man, whose identity was not released, died Saturday in an area that includes Old Town Chinatown, the Pearl District and the Nob Hill neighborhoods, officials said.
They add a final determination on the exact cause of death may not be known for weeks or months.
Counties in the region have opened up cooling shelters as the heat wave is expected to continue through Tuesday night.
Temperatures are expected to fall to near-normal highs by the middle to end of the week.
