'Heat dome' kills 'at least 500 people' across Canada, Oregon and Washington as temperatures hit 118
'Heat dome' torches the Pacific Northwest and kills 'at least 500 people' across Canada, Oregon and Washington as temperatures hit 118F - making region hotter than Death Valley
A historic heatwave in the Pacific Northwest has shattered records with temperatures reaching 118F
British Columbia's chief coroner is investigating whether the heat is to blame for at least 486 'sudden and unexpected deaths' between Friday and Wednesday
Normally, about 165 people would die in the Canadian province over a five-day period, officials said
Oregon health officials said more than 60 deaths have been tied to the heat
More than a dozen deaths in Washington have been linked to the heat, a number that was expected to rise
The heat wave was caused by what meteorologists described as a dome of high pressure over the Northwest and worsened by human-caused climate change
