Over DRINKING A BEER ?

How sad.

I've got to acknowledge that the story only tells what he told another worker he was arrested for, and the reporter did not, apparently, bother to check the arrest record.

It this is true, though, a couple of points. It's a lot easier to arrest people who aren't dangerous than to actually go after the bad guys. As to the body temperature not being elevated, if they took a core body temperature at the ER, it would tell if heat exhaustion or heat stroke was present. Core body temperature is a good indicator. However, the heat could be a contributing factor, even if it wasn't the cause. The cause could be a heart attack from exertion and existing coronary conditions. I tend to be skeptical of medical reports, particularly when they involve a governmental entity that may be at fault for the death. They're kind of like the old lawyer joke, "What's 2+2?" "What do you want it to be?"

Pennsylvania has some of the most antiquated, prohibition era liquor laws I have ever seen, but then I come from Louisiana originally.
