According to a CBS report on July 23, Phoenix police said that on the afternoon of Friday (July 22), the 12-year-old boy was hiking with an adult man in the Sonoran Desert Preserve in Phoenix when the boy fell ill.

Police have identified the boy as Cody Flom, who was hiking with two liters of water on his back.

After the boy fell ill on the way, the man traveling with him tried to take the boy away from the travel trail, but failed. The man tried to use his cell phone to call 911 for help, but his cell phone had no signal. Finally, he had to leave the boy there and run to get help.

Firefighters rushed to the scene after receiving the report. The boy was in critical condition and was immediately airlifted to Phoenix.

The boy was later pronounced dead, with the cause believed to be caused by extreme temperatures.

Currently, the police have begun investigations in the area where the two men were hiking.

According to the National Weather Service, the temperature in Phoenix reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit at 10 a.m. on the 22nd, and reached 112 degrees Fahrenheit (44.4 degrees Celsius) at 5:30 p.m.

This boy's death is the latest of several deaths caused by hot weather in Arizona since this summer. In late June, Arizona suffered a heat wave, causing at least four people to die from heat stroke there. One of the men, a 25-year-old man, died in the heat while hiking in Pinal County near Phoenix. The next day, another 28-year-old woman was hiking with her friends. Even though she drank a lot of water, she could not withstand the heat wave and died.
