TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - The Tempe Police Department says owners of an apartment complex where a woman died in a hot room will not be charged.
KNXV-TV reported (https://bit.ly/2qYW87U ) Wednesday that the medical examiner’s report cites “acute heat stress” as a contributing factor in 49-year-old Priscilla Games’ death, but multiple other causes have been determined. Firefighters had said it was 113 degrees Fahrenheit in the room.
Her official cause of death is atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease.
The Djordjevich family owns the complex, along with many others, including Bell Ridge and Arbor Creek Apartments in Phoenix, Scottsdale Suites, and the Miles Motel in Mesa.
Tempe police had said the owners provided documentation of attempted repairs, fans and temporary air conditioning units for residents. Police say there is no evidence of negligence in her death.
