Authorities from Oregon to British Columbia are investigating hundreds of deaths in connection to the historic heat wave in the Pacific Northwest corridor.
Temperatures in Oregon topped 117 Monday, according to the National Weather Service, due to a heat dome trapping hot air over the state and its neighbors.
At least 63 people have died since Friday, the State Medical Examiner s office said, and preliminary investigation suggests may be associated with the Pacific Northwest heatwave, said Oregon State Police Captain Tim Fox.
That number was based on reports from each county s medical office and could fluctuate as more information becomes available.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) The grim toll of the historic heat wave in the Pacific Northwest became more apparent as authorities in Canada, Washington state and Oregon said Wednesday that they were investigating more than 100 deaths likely caused by scorching temperatures that shattered all-time records.
Oregon health officials said more than 60 deaths have been tied to the heat, with the state’s largest county, Multnomah, blaming the weather for 45 deaths since the heat wave began Friday. As of June 30, the State Medical Examiner’s Office has received report of 63 deaths that preliminary investigation suggests may be associated with the Pacific Northwest heat wave, Oregon State Police Captain Tim Fox said.

The deaths come as a heat dome traps hot air over the Pacific Northwest, with temperature records being set earlier in the week.
At least 63 people in Oregon have died since Friday, according to the State Medical Examiner s office. Washington state authorities had linked more than half-dozen deaths to the heat, but that number was likely to rise.
Scientists expect more frequent and intense heat waves because of climate change and the worst drought in modern history.
