2 women are rescued from hot tub at remote cabin

A friends' trip to a remote cabin in the Red River Gorge area of Kentucky nearly turned deadly, local rescuers said Friday, after two women took an extended soak in a hot tub and developed hyperthermia, the opposite of hypothermia, in which the body is overheated and cannot cool. The long period spent Wednesday night in the swirling, heated waters was unintentional, rescuers in rural Wolfe County said.
