BALTIMORE (AP) — Health officials say a fourth person has died in Maryland as a result of the heat.

The state health department says a man over 65 died Monday in Baltimore. Three of the four heat-related deaths this year have been people over 65.

High temperatures are expected to continue this week, and the health department is warning people to be careful because hot weather and humidity can cause heat stroke and heat exhaustion.
