    Three deaths tied to Chicago-area heat wave

    Three deaths in Chicago were linked to a recent heat wave, with autopsies showing heat stress as a complicating factor in each case. Health officials warned that extreme heat poses risks for individuals with chronic conditions and limited access to air conditioning. The heat wave began on June 29, referencing Chicago's 1995 heat wave that caused 739 deaths.
