PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) -- The family of a 38-year-old New York woman who died after sitting in a sauna-like sweat lodge at a scenic Arizona resort says she was "in top shape."
Kirby Brown of Westtown, N.Y., was one of two people who died Thursday evening after being overcome in the crudely built hut during a spiritual cleansing ceremony.
Authorities on Saturday identified the other victim as 40-year-old James Shore of Milwaukee, who served as director of business development at an Internet marketing company in his hometown.
Nineteen other people were taken to hospitals, suffering from burns, dehydration, respiratory arrest, kidney failure or elevated body temperature.
Most were soon released, but one remained in critical condition Saturday.
