How does heat cause death
Dr. Corey Slovis, Professor and Chairman of Emergency Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, while talking to CNN said that when your body temperature starts increasing due to heat wave and extreme heat, it first affects your brain, heart and kidneys. This effect is so dangerous that your body parts stop working and you slowly die.
At the same time, Craig Crandall, Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, said that when the temperature inside the body increases, it affects your cells so badly that they stop working. In such a situation, the special organs of the body gradually start slowing down and eventually they also stop working. In this situation the person dies.
