“We are now up to 19 suspected heat-related deaths across the state,” New Jersey Health Commissioner Raynard Washington told a press conference Saturday.
“Unfortunately, many of these individuals were found in homes without air conditioning, a few were outside their residences, some on the street and some even in parked cars,” he added.
