The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that a 47-year old female of Jeffersonville passed away from heat exposure. She was found sitting on her unshaded porch outside her home. The temperature in the area that day was already 99 degrees at noon. Subsequent medical examination determined that the individual died from a cardiac event, induced by the intense heat.
