113 degrees F? Sounds like a cold front to me.

Starting to look like a pattern, maybe the Saudi's could use the help of the FBI in solving these problems! Or any other useless alphabet agency .... nothing to see here, move along ...

I can't imagine someone raised in that desert managing to run out of water. Is someone picking off the little princes?

113 degrees, 25 years old, and he died? What a bunch of p*ssies they're breeding. Hell, I'm 41, and I carry a golf bag up and down the hills for 4 hours in tempuratures that high, all summer long here in Woodland Hills CA.

Don't you get it? He was offed.

Dying of thirst is a different twist from the heart attack (age 44) and the car wreck.
