What happened
The episode as NWS MOB wrote it up.
A 34 year old female was found in her vehicle suffering from a heat stroke outside a doctors office. She was estimated to have been in the vehicle for five and one half hours before being found. The outside air temperature climbed to 94 degrees and when found her body temperature was 108 degrees. She had first and second degree burns on her legs. She died in the hospital four days later from heat stroke. It is unknown if the heat is what caused her to pass out in the first place.
