STARK COUNTY -- The Stark County Coroner's office says there were 10 heat-related deaths over the weekend.

Most of those who died had a history of lung disease.

The hot weather is difficult for people with acute respiratory issues.

The high temperature Sunday hovered near 90 degrees and more of the same was forecast for Memorial Day.
