Heat wave claims third victim in Georgia

A third heat-related death has been reported in Georgia. Authorities in Albany say 76-year-old Jesse June Irvin was found collapsed on the back patio of her home Friday. This follows the deaths of a Floyd County man and Atlanta woman in the past week due to heat-related causes.

Several Georgia cities hit triple digits again on Wednesday--the high was 104 in Macon. Forecasters expect temperatures to remain in the mid 90's to low 100's into the weekend.
