A Phoenix UPS deliveryman was filmed collapsing with heat exhaustion on a doorbell camera, as heat deaths in the Arizona city more than quadrupled in three years.
In the video, provided to KPNX, the unnamed driver, dressed in the UPS uniform of dark brown shorts and short sleeve shirt, enters the shaded Scottsdale portico of Brian Enriquez dragging his feet with a padded envelope in his hand.
As he gets to the door, he bends down to place the package on the ground and then withers to the ground. The messenger sits for a moment with his legs splayed out in front of him, unable to pick up his head.

After a couple of beats, the driver is able to rise to his feet and ring the front doorbell, then amble off unsteadily out of the frame.
‘I was concerned for the fact that he was stumbling to the door,’ Enriquez told KPNX News in Mesa. ‘Had I gotten to my phone sooner, I could have talked to him through my Ring, but he had already left the property at that point.’
The homeowner called the police to see if they could help. UPS later confirmed that the driver had not been seriously-injured, and had recovered from his tumble.
