Warning: Children sensitive to heat exhaustion

Posted July 12th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.ktvb.com

Some reports estimate his time of death from heat exhaustion was only after 3 - 4 hours. The boy was only 10 year old…

DeGeus-Morris said Nettleton had been outside exposed to the elements for around 17 hours and likely died from environmental hyperthermia. Temperatures in the Foothills south of Emmett that day reached into the mid-90s.

She believes the boy became disoriented and the heat was too much for him. Hyperthermia sets in when the body fails to adequately cool itself.
