"Making a diagnosis of a heat-related death may be quite difficult at autopsy as commonly found features such as skin slippage, pleural petechiae, and pulmonary and cerebral edema are entirely nonspecific [7]. Only very rarely will a core temperature of a body proximate to the time of death be available, and heat often accelerates decomposition which further complicates post mortem assessment [8]."
