A person in San Jose died amid a heat wave in the Bay Area, Mayor Matt Mahan said on Wednesday.
Mahan posted on social media that a homeless person died on Tuesday due to the heat.
“This was an avoidable tragedy and exactly why we’re moving with urgency to create enough basic, dignified shelter for everyone — it’s not compassionate to leave people suffering in unmanaged, unsheltered and unsafe conditions. We’ll be keeping our cooling centers open late through July 9th — please help spread the word,” Mahan said in a statement.
No other details were released.
