"I don't know why the man died who lived across from us two years ago."
Sorry for the loss of a friend- but you said he died from a heat related problem, then you say you don't know why the man died.
I agree with not having a cap on the heat index. Smart players and healthy lifestyles need to work hand in hand. Not rules. Most people don't follow rules anyway.
Age plays a part in health. However, so does Smoking, Drinking, Poor Exercise, Poor Diet, Obesity...the list goes on. As a nurse here in TV- I can tell you most of the patients I see are making poor lifestyle decisions or have made them in the past and they are now catching up on them.
I agree with the other nurse- Heat Index was probably not the only factor in the loss of life with the recent softball player. Sorry to see someone pass away at such a young age. Of course- I hate to see anyone pass away. It never gets easier for the family or nurses that care for the patients--no matter what the age.
