Sad read. Can't believe people go that big and ignore setting up a proper exhaust system though. :/
Grow-lamps Roast Yorkshire Dope Farmer in his Sleep
Cops swoon on entering deadly hothouse
By Lester Haines
A West Yorkshire cannabis grower died of hyperthermia after halogen lamps in his illicit indoor dope plantation heated his house to a fatal 38°C, the Sun reports.
Luke Holmes, 28, constructed "three foil-lined tents each containing marijuana plants", nurtured by a "battery" of halogens. He died in bed and was discovered by friends three days later in the property in Halifax.
Police officers "almost fainted from the heat when they entered the property on a warm day last June", the Sun explains.
An inquest in Bradford "heard that Holmes was a drug user, although no drugs were found in his system". His death was declared an accident, provoked by fatal overheating.

If the temperature slowly warms up, you won't even notice its getting hotter.

38°C = 100.4°F
Sustained temps of 100+ especially at night would merk most of us IMO. Reminds me of when Martin Lawrence put on all those black trash bags and ran around LA in the summer and caught a stroke.

Think thats true for frogs, but definitely not humans. I can feel it getting hotter no matter how slowly it gets hot.

Did that say the source was The Sun?
Isn't the Sun a joke paper?

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?
