A 90-year-old man left in the heat for three hours outside a North Naples nursing home last week died recently.
Nurses at the Aristocrat Nursing home found Robert Bernard unresponsive in his wheelchair last Wednesday afternoon.
A 911 caller told a dispatcher that the man had a 105-degree temperature and there were three nurses working to cool him down.
A police report indicated Bernard was wheeled outside about 2 p.m. and the staff discovered the mistake about three hours later. Officials say Bernard was suffering from heat stroke, dehydration and sunburn.
