A man in west Yorkshire who essentially set up his own small plantation growing cannabis at home has died of hyperthermia (overheating).
The man built three foil tents for growing the product. These tents were heated by a battery of halogen lights.
Apparently, when Police entered the house, the temperature inside was 38 degrees C, and several Police officers almost fainted.

A sad story.
Having been in temperatures > 40 degrees centigrade*, I can sympathise with the Police. Especially as he had been dead for a few days when they found him.
* In my case, I went to help a friend set up something on one of his work's servers. It was a hot day anyway, and when we got into the server room, the one air conditioner had blown a fuse. I don't know how hot it was when we went in, but after two hours of leaving all the doors/windows open and letting every fan in the building blow air into the server room, the thermometer was still at it's maximum, 40 degrees C.
