Abstract
Three fatal cases of heat stroke were encountered in the central New York [USA] area over 2 mo. Although in each instance 1 or more predisposing factors were identified, exertion clearly played a role in its development in only 1 case. In addition to laboratory and postmortem findings indicative of dysfunction of many organ systems, there was morphological evidence of widespread damage to skeletal muscle.
