> 40-50% of sauna deaths (which are quite rare but still 40-60 per year in Finland) are alcohol related with falling asleep in sauna the number one cause. Recent years have ranged between a low of 31 in 2015 and a high of 61 in 2017 (per Tilastokeskus). This even tho all new saunas must have timers, because people get home inebriated, turn on the sauna, and then after a while in it they conk out.
