Vancouver: The hot wave that had settled in West Canada for several days was believed to be a factor that contributed to dozens of sudden death calls received by police in the Vancouver area, said the authorities said Tuesday.
CPL Mike Kalanj from Police Mounted Royal Canadian Burnaby said the detachment responded 25 sudden death calls in a 24-hour period starting Monday.
Death is still in the investigation and many who die are seniors, he said.
The temperature in the Vancouver area reaches below 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 Celsius) Monday, but the humidity makes it feel close to 104 degrees (40 Celsius) in areas that are not near water, Canadian neighborhood words.
The record that breaks the record can make it easier for some parts of the British Columbia, Yukon and the northwest region on Wednesday, but suspension of punishment for further meadow province.
In Vancouver, the police department said he had moved dozens of officers and asked the public to call 911 only for emergencies because hot-related deaths had spent the frontline resources and delayed response time.
“Vancouver has never experienced heat like this, and unfortunately dozens of people are dying because of that,” Sgt.
Said Steve Addison in the news release.
“Our officers stretched thin, but we still did everything we could to keep people safe.” On Tuesday afternoon, he said, the police had responded more than 65 sudden deaths since the heat wave began Friday.
“Most of these cases are related to heat,” Addison said, adding that in ordinary days, Vancouver police responded between three and four sudden death calls.
Ingrid Jarrett, CEO of the British Columbia Hotel Association, said residents in the lower mainland, Victoria and the Okanagan area had booked air-conditioned rooms so they could continue to work and also sleep.
