Feels like that could have been determined a little earlier.

According to the autopsy report, one of the bathtub faucets in Barber's apartment was running when officers arrived, and the unit's thermostat was set to 91 degrees with the heat set to "on." Officers also found exercise equipment in the unit.

"Mr. Barber was known to exercise in sauna-like conditions," the coroner wrote in his report.

Police wrote in the incident report that family members had not heard from Barber for six days prior to the date his body was found. They also noted that Barber "was known to have a history of medical problems and mental health concerns."

What makes you think his decision making was not compromised?
How many people die of heat stroke in their own home that has a functional A/C, no matter his hot box yoga, or whatever proclivities?
Worldwide?
There are no definitive answers here.

Bottom line, he's dead way too soon.

Bottom line, he's dead way too soon.

Yes. True tragedy.
I grieve for his family and for him.
I truly hope there is a Heaven and he is there.
Free and rejoicing.

By accident.

Yes, indeed, but an extremely careless accident that easily could have been prevented.
