Man Dies in Car From Extreme Heat in Death Valley Amid Record Temperatures and Broken AC

A 65-year-old man was found dead in his vehicle in Death Valley National Park, likely due to heat-related illness from lack of functioning air conditioning and ventilation.
The vehicle had two flat tires but had not crashed, suggesting the driver may have run off the road due to heat exhaustion or stroke.
The day prior saw record high temperatures of 126 degrees Fahrenheit in Death Valley, one of the hottest places on Earth.
The man's body was discovered by a park maintenance worker who noticed the stranded vehicle.
The death comes as much of the western U.S. faces dangerous heat waves and warnings amid climate change.
