BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) June 23, 2016 — Romanian authorities say five people have died in a heatwave that has swept the country in recent days, with reports of others who have fallen into comas.

A spokesman for emergency services in the northeast county of Vaslui, Dan Ungureanu, said three men succumbed Thursday afternoon to the intense heat while they were working. One was a 74-year-old man who collapsed while working in a field in temperatures that reached 35 C (95 F).
