Bay Area heat wave now to blame for one death, no end in sight

The relentless intensity of a Bay Area heat wave that is showing no signs of dissipating anytime soon can now be blamed for a death in the region, authorities said.

A homeless person in San Jose died from effects of the weather, the first known casualty from a blast of heat that is expected to be slightly cooler on Thursday but still in the triple digits in most interior places, according to the National Weather Service. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan announced the death on social media.
