A funeral for a Louisiana officer who died as a result of last Saturday’s sizzling temperatures after working outside for several hours will be held, as more than 100 million Americans brace for what’s expected to be another sweltering weekend of intense heat.
Officer Brian Olliff, 52, died on Saturday evening after radioing in for an ambulance to escort him to the nearest hospital while he was patrolling the streets of the small city of Natchitoches, located about 20 miles northwest of Montgomery.
