According to ABC 13, the medical examiner declared the couple dead inside the mobile home as the A/C technician arrived outside.

That happened. Yep.

According to ABC 13, the medical examiner declared the couple dead inside the mobile home as the A/C technician arrived outside.

Technician? Did this mobile home have central air?

The Isons got a loan on June 15 and scheduled repairs for the next day. "I think they thought that it would be OK," Floods told Ryan, adding that the couple grew up without air conditioning and were used to working in the heat.

Instead of a cheap window AC unit they got a loan? Presumably for central air repair? Really?

A neighbor grew concerned when Ramona Ison didn't pass by on her daily morning walk with her dog. "I thought, 'I better go check on them.' I banged on the door. No answer. Went over there to the bedroom. Banged on the window. No answer. So that's why I decided to call the police," he told Ryan.

What was the temperature in that city on the day(s) they presumably died? Were the windows open, as they should be if they were overheating. The witness banged on the bedroom window.

I wouldn't be surprised if they died of the jab, and it was leveraged as a global warming death to push the depopulation agenda.

Global warming is the depopulation dog whistle.

It seems certain that this is a scare tactic article.

Yep.
Died in June.
Reported in August.

They didn't even bother to include temp data.

I didn't even get that far, i tasted the fake just a few paragraphs in. This has to be ficticous, your theory isn't too far off perhaps

I live in Harris County and had my AC break during this heat wave. It's absolutely an essential emergency repair. The temperatures were brutal. It doesn't have to do with the climate change narrative, this has always happened during heat waves here, people die, particularly older people.

Technician? Did this mobile home have central air?

Almost certainly. It's pretty much a requirement to live here.

Instead of a cheap window AC unit they got a loan? Presumably for central air repair? Really?

I did use a window unit personally, I was able to borrow it, and the electricity bill doubled for the month from just a week or so of use. We probably wouldn't have bought one if I couldn't borrow it, that's an extra $200-400, $500-$700 including the extra electricity, at least for just a few days and we'd probably never use it again.... Although now that I type that it occurs to me that would be something that could conceivably simply be returned after it was no longer needed and you'd get free use of the unit. Not particularly on the up and up tho and it didn't occur to me at the time.

Anyways, I was ready to just pack up and shelter elsewhere, which is what they should have done, mobility issues or no. If they had nowhere else to go, they could have sat at the mall for the 4-6 hottest hours of the day. Or called 211 or whatever the number is here for government assistance. They used to do heat shelters in the 90s/early 2000s. There still may be something like that.

There's a conspicuous absence of temp related info for people who died in June, but they waited for 2 months until the hottest month (August) to report it.

The AC stopped working. They were both found dead.

It might be helpful to know how many times they were jabbed, but that's returned to private info again in 2023.

The 15th was 95F, the 16th was 93F. Right now it's 95F but the heat index is only 105 and this feels like a nice day to me, but in June I am certain the heat indexes were worse despite the similar base temps.

You live in Texas, or Florida?

Texas. Harris County is where Houston is located.

It was low to mid 90's at the airport in Houston, which would likely have been hotter than their trailer park. But if their windows were closed (which would be collosally stupid by the way) then this calculator

says it could have been 140+ inside. That's killing weather. A set of $20 box fans in the windows to put some air through the trailer would have saved their lives. It's possible this did not occur to them.
