Inset: Hector Corrales (Maricopa County Sheriff's Office). Background: The area where Arizona cops found Aaron Goodyke bound to a wheelchair while temperatures were "in excess" of 105 degrees after he was allegedly tied up by Hector Corrales and another person (AZFamily).

An Arizona man tied his "friend" to a wheelchair with plastic bags and left him outside to die in 105-degree heat with his pants around his ankles, according to police. The suspect and another pal allegedly wheeled the victim out to a canal and left him there.

Hector Corrales, 41, is charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping in connection with the June 25 death of Aaron Goodyke, 33, of Maricopa County. An arrest affidavit obtained by Law&Crime describes how Corrales and his pal allegedly tied Goodyke, a diabetic amputee whose left leg is missing below the knee, to his wheelchair after he became "combative" during an attempt to take Goodyke to a Phoenix hospital.

Goodyke had been staying with Corrales' mom and was having health problems, according to the woman. "He was being evicted from a hotel and asked if he could stay with her since he was her son, Hector Corrales' friend," the affidavit says.

"As the week went on, [Goodyke] refused to eat and drink, and his health was declining," the document alleges, citing statements provided to police by the mom.
