Sunstroke (heat stroke) occurs when the body's ability to regulate its temperature stops working. This usually happens when someone with an already weakened ability to dissipate heat, such as an older individual or a child, plays outside in the heat for a prolonged period of time, but can also occur to normal healthy adults that don't take proper precautions. Drink plenty of fluids, and get out of the sun if you start to feel faint, stop sweating, get dizzy, or become confused (or a few dozen others.) If your symptoms get worse or don't promptly resolve, contact your physician or call 911.

a sunstroke is the symptoms of the human body overheating. Before overheating, dehydration takes place where the kidneys retain water lost through sweating instead of secreting it to be mixed with urea to be excreted as waste.
Overheating creates stroke-like symptoms and can be fatal.
