Uh...I think that's hyperthermia.

Not that it matters--heat or cold, this poor man was left alone to die. Is anyone going to be held responsible for this?

It's like busy parents leaving their babies in cars for the same fate. Do they get in trouble? (I'm not sure).

well it depends on how functional he was...if he was a low functioning autistic like had M.R. or something like that, then yes they can be held accountable for criminal neglect.
