A farm worker died earlier this month. It's one of six possible heat-related deaths the state is now investigating.
The Division of Occupational Safety and Health is reviewing whether a 47-year-old worker in Blythe died while harvesting cantaloupes in 102-degree heat on July seventh.
The agency is also investigating the April death of a 56-year-old farm worker harvesting corn in 84-degree heat in Imperial County.
Other cases under investigation involve a drilling crew member, a police officer, a temporary laborer and a grading foreman. All died in June.
Coroners have not yet confirmed the cause of their deaths.
