Two elderly men died of suspected
heat stroke as a heat wave rose in Italy on Thursday.
A man was found dead on Thursday in gardens near to Milan's
central station.
There were no evident signs of violence on the body of the
man, who was apparently in his 60s or 70s.
He may have died after having a bad turn, possible because of
the intense heat.
