Have had cases of decedent estates where elderly person was overheated and dehydrated, finally dying of self-neglect.

Died and dried in a warm dry house with good ventilation--a mummy of sorts.

If they are old enough, dehydrated enough, lay flat on non-absorbent flooring, it can happen.

Lots of factors.
