As of Wednesday, June 30, the Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office has received reports of 63 deaths that preliminary investigation suggests may be associated with the Pacific Northwest heatwave.

Officials said this number is likely to change in either direction as more information is received from each county medical examiner’s office.

These are preliminary numbers as some investigations are still in progress and final causes of death have not yet been determined.

The following is the current breakdown by county of heat-related deaths:

Multnomah – 45

Marion – 9

Washington – 5

Clackamas – 2

Columbia – 1

Umatilla -1
