SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Corpses piled up at the morgue
Thursday,
and aid workers went door-to-door, checking in on elderly people in hopes
of
keeping the death toll from California's 12-day heat wave from rising.

California coroner's offices said the number of deaths possibly connected
to
the heat wave climbed to 90.

In Fresno County's morgue, the walk-in freezer was stuffed with bodies,
with
some piled on top of others, said Coroner Loralee Cervantes. With limited
air conditioning, employees worked in sweltering heat as they
investigated
at least 22 possible heat-related deaths.

"It's never been like this in my years here," Cervantes said. "This is
really tragic."

The mercury dropped slightly in some areas, with Sacramento expected to
get
its first double-digit high in 12 days, but Fresno and Bakersfield were
expected to hit 109.

In Stanislaus County, which includes Modesto, officials were
investigating
whether sizzling temperatures were responsible for 20 deaths. Salvation
Army
workers walked door-to-door to check on elderly and other vulnerable
residents.

Kern County was investigating eight possibly heat-related deaths. Among
the
victims were two Bakersfield brothers who were found dead in their beds
in a
home without air conditioning.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that California was making 75
cooling
centers available to residents at fairgrounds statewide. Health officials
also were contacting nursing homes to make sure they had evacuation plans
in
place in case their air conditioning failed, he said.

State Sen. Dean Florez called on Schwarzenegger to declare a state of
emergency in the Central Valley, noting that residents -- and hundreds of
cows -- were dying each day.

"Record-breaking heat requires a record-breaking response," Florez said.
"The conditions, staying this hot for this long, are simply too much for
the
most vulnerable residents."

July has seen extreme heat across the country. In St. Louis, the misery
was
worsened by storms that knocked down power lines last week in the worst
blackout in city history. Most of the 12 Missouri deaths attributed to
the
heat wave occurred in the St. Louis area, where about 36,000 homes and
businesses remained without power Thursday afternoon.

Missouri regulators opened an investigation into whether AmerenUE and
other
utilities were properly prepared for the storms, and whether they
responded
adequately.

Oh, all his people are going home? Good for them. If heaven is home.
