Tragic Discovery: Elderly Couple Found Dead in 1,000-Degree Home

An elderly couple in South Carolina was found dead in their home with the heater measuring over 1,000F, prompting a police welfare check after family members had not heard from them. The couple, identified as 84-year-old Joan Littlejohn and 82-year-old Glennwood Fowler, were discovered in a house with an extremely high interior temperature, despite the cold weather outside.
