“When I opened the door, I looked and there was a black man in the sauna. It wasn’t my dad so I shut the door and I looked, the clothes hanging it was his clothes,” said Lara Antiporek, Dennis’s daughter.
“I close my eyes and I just see his face charred,” said Ronnie Antiporek. “And this sounds horrible, but there was skin on the floor and on the bench and we shouldn’t have had to see that.”

Getting drunk in the hot tub is another way to end up "cooked".
The hot water neutralizes the body's cooling mechanism --- sweating. The body keeps pumping out sweat in an attempt to cool off, so the now dehydrated hot tubber gets drunk faster. Between the alcohol, dehydration, and rising body temperature, the tubber loses consciousness & then dies. It can happen in a very short time if the water's too warm.
My guess is this poor elderly gentleman wasn't cooked to death. If he was too hot, why didn't he just get up & leave. There was no sign of a failed struggle to get out. My guess is that he had a heart attack or stroke or a medication reaction in the sauna, and he was basically dead before he got cooked.
Dead, or maybe just passed out.
However, I think the condo has a problem. The picture here would seem to show that the thermal override protection on the heater failed.
The autopsy may prove whether that contributed to his death or just gave him a nice char afterwards.
Most likely is that the runaway heat got to him before he realized what was happening.
Better was a police photograph of some old guy who lived alone and was soaking in his bathtub, using one of those little teacup immersion heater things to keep things warm.
Yep. You guessed it. He died in the tub and got simmered, low and slow.
Quite the mess.
I saw it at rotten.com. Don't know whether that site still exists. I kind of hope not.
Were his balls deflated?
Rasins.
There is something wacky about this story! It reminds me of that Pillsbury Doughman skit where he gets popped in the oven and starts acting "black" as he turns brown.
I found this old clip from Mad TV, but I swear it had a racial angle previously.
I worked briefly in Scottsdale AZ.
June, 1990 or so. It was 110 degrees for days on end. One day a young woman died after getting drunk at the outdoor hot tub.
Girl soup.
I let autocorrect do raisins. I th9iught -that doesn't' lokk right but ok. I'll do as you say, autocorrect. Stupid auto correct.
raisins.
wow -that is girl soup. Who on earth sits in a hot tub in 110 degrees? Or even after a 110 degree day?
Ice bath.
I was amazed how many people would sit in the hot tub at our apartment complex at 6 PM after work. For hours.
I will never understand the attraction of sauna or steam bath...other than for very short durations...e.g, 5 minutes or less. Same thing for tanning beds. I mean WTF? Someone can't find other ways to be uncomfortable? Or toasted?
I lived in Asia for some time and steam baths were the last step in showering at a bath house...no more than 5 minutes of steam bath with a pretty young girl thing massaging your shoulders and back...nekid was best.
All by myself? Nope, I'm busy and have other things to do. Sit in a hut with intense heat bringing all the sweat out to activate the millions of bacteria on your body is somehow "refreshing"...no, man, you now stink worse than ever!
I'm a guy, but man-stink is the worst, so why make it even more so?
Pogo...I am not amazed, really...there is no cure for stupid. Hot tubes are nifty if you like close association with a half dozen other people's body stink. Again, WTF?
Hot tubs or "hot tubes"...at this point, what is the difference anyway? Nothing better than working hard to smell like a NBA locker room's jock straps? Please.
Take a cold shower if you must...actually THAT is "refreshing." Still idiotic. Again I say WTF?!
My favorite part is, "We shouldn't have had to see that."
Because your father being cooked alive is all about you having to see it.
I know, I know, I know what she meant. That's why it's my favorite part.
You know, right before my face turned black and my skin started to fall off, I'd probably come to the conclusion that I had enough sauna.
One more story that doesn't sound right.
Spent an hour or so last night in the hot tub - a beautiful, clear, star-filled night, with some wine, candles, and the girlfriend who just got back from working out of town for a week. Yea, it gets pretty hot in them things, and it gets things cooking, but nobody came out overdone, just well warmed up.
My girl is (was) a fully immersed liberal who never even touched a gun in her life, and didn't want to, but our friends in Nevada, who love guns, took her out shooting. She shot handguns, shotguns, and rifles. Reportedly she is a deadeye shot with the rifle, and she really enjoyed it. I'm building a wingnut - one eyeopener at a time. I got to admit she looks good doing it, even if it might be the last thing I ever see someday.
Deadly
I'm sorry that I failed to mention that IMO a private hot tub for two under the right circumstances is cool. Rather fun actually. You're not sharing then with every Tom, Dick, and Harry...literally.
But lingering in a sauna, or public steam bath...no way Jose.
That is awesome, Bags. She looks great - as always. It warms the heart to see a liberal with a gun.
We should all partake in our 2nd amendment rights. It is the basic civic duty of all free people, imo.
Funniest news story I ever read was about an old guy who mistook his stereo for his fireplace and poured lighter fluid on it and lit it.
He was calmly enjoying the warmth of his "fireplace" when the fire dept arrived. I am not sure if booze or dementia was involved.
Bags! WOOT!
