An elderly couple in South Carolina was found deceased after the temperature of their home heater was measured over 1,000 degrees. The couple was identified as 84-year-old Joan Littlejohn and 82-year-old Glennwood Fowler. The couple's family called for a welfare check on Saturday to their home in Spartanburg after they had not seen their parents in more than a week. When authorities arrived at the home, all the doors were locked, but the window leading into the bedroom was not secure. When authorities removed the window screen, they saw the couple in the bedroom was deceased. The air temperature of the home was measured over 120

degrees, and the temperature of the heater itself was recorded over 1,000 degrees. The body temperatures of the victims exceeded 106 degrees, the maximum measurement of the device used. The cause of the couple's demise is still under investigation. However, it is suspected that the couple died due to the extreme heat generated by the malfunctioning heater. The incident is a tragic reminder of the importance of regular maintenance of heating systems and the need to ensure that they are functioning correctly. The couple's demise has left their family and friends in shock and mourning. They will be remembered for their kindness, warmth, and love for each other.
