The heat may very well have been the culprit, but it may also have been any number of other natural causes. The best thing you can do to help birds during times of extreme heat is to provide a continuous source of food and fresh water. If you try to take any direct action to try to keep the bird house cool, you may cause the parents to reject their young due to your close contact.
