NEW: Maricopa County has recorded 39 heat deaths so far this year with an additional 14 since last week. There are 312 deaths that remain under investigation by the Medical Examiner's Office.

Medical Examiner admissions for the month of July were 842 compared to 764 for the same month last year, an increase of 10%.

As of August 1, Maricopa County recorded 39 heat-caused or heat-related deaths this year with 312 deaths still under investigation.

“While the additional coolers will assist with capacity, we want to recognize the staff at OMA that are operating at far above their typical maximums to respond to this surge,” Johnston said.
