Source: MSN/Sun Sentinel
An 11th person has died as a result of stifling heat at a Hollywood, Fla., nursing home that lost power during Hurricane Irma.
Constance Alice Thomas, 94, died Thursday at 8:58 a.m., more than a week after eight people succumbed to stifling heat at the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills.
Among those who died, body temperatures were as high as 109.9 degrees.
Two other people have died in the days since. Martha Murray, 94, died on Wednesday. Carlos Canal, 93, a Cuban exile who came to Miami in 1961, died the day before.
