Event narrative (NOAA)
A man and a woman were found dead in a trailer on June 16th. It is believed they died on June 13th due to extreme heat. The trailer they were found in had no air conditioning and all the windows were closed despite temperatures well into the 90s. Smoke from a large wildfire to the east had spread over the region on June 13th and may have lead to the deceased individuals closing the windows despite the hot temperatures.
