Around 3:00 pm on the 21st, a family member reported to the fire department that an 88-year-old woman had collapsed in a house in Kawajima Town, Saitama Prefecture.
The woman was taken to the hospital unconscious and unbreathing, but was confirmed dead on suspicion of heat stroke.

According to Saitama Prefecture, a 71-year-old woman died on suspicion of heat stroke last month in Saitama Prefecture.
Saitama Prefecture replenishes water and salt diligently, and since there are cases of heat stroke indoors, we are calling for careful attention to heat stroke, such as by using air conditioning properly.
