Three San Jacinto teen-agers whose bodies were found in rugged terrain last month in the San Bernardino National Forest died of heat exposure, the Riverside County coroner’s office has determined. The bodies of William Strother, 17, Jeremy Warwick, 19, and Arthur Noriega, 19, were discovered within a three-mile radius of where their truck became stuck on a dirt road in the hills southeast of Hemet. Investigators said the bodies were found under bushes, suggesting the trio had sought refuge from the searing summer heat.
