"SYDNEY (Reuters) - Authorities fear several elderly people may have died due to the heatwave baking southern Australia, after 18 "sudden deaths" in one city Friday.

"How many of them are associated with the heat is speculative, but it's obviously a high number," South Australia state Health Minister John Hill told local media.

Of the 18 people who died in Adelaide since midnight Thursday, 14 of them were elderly. Sudden deaths are those caused by medical conditions such as heart attacks and strokes, said an ambulance official who confirmed the number of deaths, adding autopsies would determine whether the deaths were heat-related.

"Normally the Ambulance Service would have just a few during a day, so this is a much higher number. So, you've got to draw the conclusion that a lot of them have something related to the effects of heat," Hill told the news.com website.

Extreme temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) have baked Victoria and South Australia states for the past three days, disrupting power and transport and leaving medical services struggling.

Weather officials say if the high temperatures continue until Sunday it will equal the worst heatwave in 100 years.

Melbourne recorded its hottest ever three-day heatwave on Friday, after the temperature hit 43.8 degrees Celsius (110.84 Fahrenheit), the third day above 43 Celsius.

About 90 trains were canceled in the city due to the heat, as crews repaired buckled rail lines, leaving thousands of commuters stranded. "
