Mayich, 21, collapsed during an outdoor workout on August 20 in Tempe, Arizona, suffering extreme heatstroke that has left him on life support with little chance of recovery. While the university maintains the workout was conducted under standard protocols, players and the player’s family allege the session was a dangerous, military-style conditioning drill lacking proper safety measures. ASU athletic director Graham Rossini stated the decision aims to provide stability for the program as the season begins, though the family and seven anonymous players are demanding the removal of all involved coaches and an independent investigation.

ASU Hockey Players Demand Coach's Suspension After Disputing Mayich Collapse Report

Seven anonymous Arizona State University hockey players have sent a 26-page letter to President Michael Crow, demanding the immediate suspension of head coach Greg Powers and an independent investigation into the August 20 workout that left teammate Matthew Mayich in a coma. The players allege the university’s internal report misrepresented the severity of the session, claiming it lasted 75 minutes rather than 45, and that Mayich received no proper hydration or medical care. They assert that Powers downplayed Mayich’s condition as a minor heat stroke and continued training the next day. The letter, delivered by attorney Tim Casey, highlights fears of retaliation and calls for an interim coach before the season opener on October 2. Mayich, a 21-year-old defenseman, remains on life support with no chance of recovery from a catastrophic brain injury caused by exertional heat stroke.

Tennessee police dog dies of heatstroke after being left without water for 36 hours

A German shepherd named Bart, a patrol dog for the Madison County Sheriff's Office in Tennessee, died of heatstroke after being left in an outdoor kennel without water for approximately 36 hours during a heatwave. The dog's handler resigned after being placed on administrative leave, and criminal and administrative investigations have been launched. A veterinary necropsy confirmed severe dehydration as the cause of death, with temperatures reaching 101F (38.3C). Sheriff Julian Wiser called the death 'unfortunate and preventable' and noted that search warrants were served as part of the investigation. The case highlights a broader trend, as heatstroke is the second-leading cause of death for police dogs in the line of duty, according to a survey in the Police Practice and Research Journal.

Heat, Confusion and Quick Cooling: An Elderly Man's Close Call

An 82-year-old man became briefly unable to form words after five hours in extreme heat. Dr. Roach warns heatstroke is a medical emergency requiring rapid cooling (cold water immersion or similar) and fluids; dehydration from drinking only water can lower sodium and cause mental confusion, so electrolyte-containing drinks are important. The episode may warrant medical evaluation for kidney/muscle issues or thyroid problems, and pacemaker data should be checked. Prevention focuses on avoiding prolonged heat, cooling promptly, and staying hydrated with electrolytes.

Heatstroke’s aftershock: why cooling may not end the danger

Heatstroke’s aftershock: why cooling may not end the danger

Europe’s deadly heatwave is driving many heatstroke cases, where core body temperature above 40°C can cause brain dysfunction and multi-organ damage. Yet deaths can occur hours or days after cooling because the body’s immune system goes into a runaway, sepsis-like inflammatory state driven by neutrophils that damages blood vessels and triggers blood clots, overwhelming organs even once temperature is normalized. The current approach—rapid cooling—saves lives but doesn’t halt this immune cascade, so researchers are exploring strategies to calm neutrophil activity, prevent microthrombosis, and protect the gut barrier. Risk factors include age extremes, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, dehydration, alcohol, and certain medications. Faster cooling plus immune-targeted therapies could improve outcomes in heatstroke patients.
