A police officer and his businesswoman wife died from heatstroke after getting into an overheated bathtub while drunk and high on cocaine as they celebrated their 4-year-old daughter's birthday in a motel in Brazil. The couple, Jeferson Luiz Sagaz and Ana Carolina Silva, had spent the day drinking and doing cocaine before checking into the motel. Authorities found their bodies in the bathtub with the water temperature at 122 degrees Fahrenheit and a space heater turned up high. Toxicology tests revealed high levels of alcohol and cocaine in their blood, which may have contributed to their deaths by dulling their reactions to the severe heat.
