WHAT THE FUCK?!!!
The BC Coroners Service has reported 719 sudden deaths in the past week, triple the number that would normally occur in the province.
"We are releasing this information as it is believed likely the extreme weather B.C. has experienced in the past week is a significant contributing factor to the increased number of deaths," Lisa Lapointe, chief coroner said in a release.
This comes after a dangerous and unrelenting heat wave crushed temperature records across the province.
