The haunting text messages a Texas postal worker sent to his wife before he died have emerged. Eugene Gates Jr. collapsed and later died while working during a heatwave. Prior to his death, the last text messages he sent to his wife warned her about the hot weather. Carla Gates says her husband was prepared for the heat, often taking a cooler of water and tea to stay hydrated. Inside Edition’s Sibila Vargas has more.

THESE LAST 2 GENERATIONS HAVE BROUGHT FORTH THE WEAKEST HUMANS IN HISTORY! THERE'S NOTHING BUT WEAK HUMANS NOWADAYS! 🤣🤣🤣
It's a no brainer to stop service for all workers when the heat goes above a certain level. RIP
Do these people get paid enough to deal with this? Texas heat is so ass..i hate it
I just quit USPS after 3 years working, ended up in hospital from heat exhaustion from LLV heat. Thought I was going to die and my head was on fire. Not worth it.
I live in Dallas, I was working outside that afternoon, it was not 115 degrees, why does the news media lie to us?
Why do the elderly work well into their 60s & beyond. They should have not have had a man in his 60s outside in a heat wave like that. She should sue for not protecting their mail carriers safety.
That day around 4pm":real feel" was 125 degrees. I too sent a message but to my supervisor that I was fatigue and having chest pains add i did not get a response until 30 mins later…they don't care. their only concern is that the mail get delivered without interruptions
So, soooo S A D ,..💔💔💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Is true ….is sad this man die….today she plan a funeral is so sad….Postal office is responsible for death of this man….😢
Sending prayers, healing, & strength to the family.. Rest In Paradise Eugene 🕊💜🕊💜
💔😢🙏

66?! Why can’t people that age make enough to be retired. Come on america!!
She doesn't seem affected at all
So sad condolences to his loved ones.
This is Texas, heat is not a joke here. USPS should have known better.
Texas don't play with it coms to heat please god watch over that man
the mail service in my area has literally begun using normal cars with decals on the side because old school mail trucks cannot get proper AC going in this heat. but i still see them having to walk for blocks. I live in in the midwest where we get 100+ degree summers and -20 winters. cant believe they stilll have to work in these conditions.
🙁
115 degrees?! Nah you can kiss my ass.
Its 86 degrees in germany and we have all kinds of warnings for the elderly.
Justice for him 🙏

Roberta. Anthony. Hello
He has such a kind face, probably too kind dedicated to his work. RIP.
This is so sad
She's going to get paid. That will make her happy 😂
She’ll sue of course
Sorry about that
Greg Abbott doesn’t think construction workers need water breaks. In Texas.
Should have moved to Baltimore. Already paying rapperations. They call it guarantee income, but its that other payout. 1000$ per month. Direct deposit for your convenience. No strings. No requirement. No work search. No school. No nothing. Free cash. PLUS PLUS PLUS as a bonus free rent, food phone, and health insurance. Young folks in their 20s cashin in. Able bodied. Just dont wanna work. All federal agencies including postal arr looking for help? But hey, why get heatstroke and die when youve already worked your whole life. Just come to Baltimore. But those kids i told ya about….getting all that free swag….they'll still kill ya without a thought.
Tragic.
This is sad 😢
I hope this lady sues and make some real change.
It’s absolutely ridiculous that private companies and government agencies refuse to allow air conditioning in work vehicles. It’s completely conscionable.
Timber going up for you and your family 📖Amen
