Report: Heat Suspected In South Milwaukeean’s Death

A 67-year-old South Milwaukee man is one of five Milwaukee County residents suspected to have died from the recent heat wave.

That’s according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. See the story on Richard J. Waliszewski here, of the 1700 block of 17th Avenue, here. From it:

Waliszewski’s body was found by a police officer who went to check on him after neighbors reported they had not seen Waliszewski for some time, a medical examiner’s report says. The home was very warm, no windows were open and there was no air conditioning and no running water, the report states.

No body temperature was taken, the report notes. The report notes that Waliszewski had other health issues that may have contributed to his death.

Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.
