(KERO) — 1 year Los Angeles Times Survey In the heat of the heat, journalists noticed a gap in state and federal pursuit activities. He says state officials were asked during the investigation about the death toll associated with extreme heat. Staff found that the state had long underestimated the death toll from heat. “According to our analysis, the actual death toll is about 3,900, about six times the official number,” said Anna Phillips, an environmental policy reporter at the LA Times. California officials have also ignored warnings about the risk of extreme heat, Phillips said.
