Driver Chris Begley’s death in August underscores a list of alleged heat-related incidents across Texas
Neysa Lambeth was in Florida caring for her ailing father on 23 August 2023 when she received a call from her husband, Chris Begley, who had worked as a UPS driver for 28 years in Texas.
Begley, 57, had collapsed from the heat while delivering packages. Lambeth said a manager picked him up and took him home to recover. He had fallen ill a couple of times from the heat over the previous two years, Lambeth said, and she had picked him up from the UPS service center on those occasions.
“This time I wasn’t home, and so instead of taking him to the hospital or dialling 911, they took him home to an empty house and left him,” said Lambeth.
Conservatives don’t see heat as any kind of danger. They see it as a measure for who’s “a pussy” and who’s “a man”. They genuinely think being overheated is just being lazy; just something in your imagination.
Never defer to a conservative on matters of health or science. They are opposed to both.
