Most likely he had some

Even if not, there are always statistical outliers. Not to be callous, but it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. Not like 17 year olds should all be preparing to die if they get covid

I'm not in the medical field, but it seems strange that they would go ahead and add him to the coronavirus tally if they're still investigating the cause of death. Is that SOP?

Look, I'm the first one to bitch about others not taking this seriously but there's no way he didn't have major underlying conditions.

I would bet he was a paraplegic in a nursing home due to GSW.

Very sad. However, I'm curious to know whether he smoked or vaped.

It seems like the Coroner's Office is saying STFU because he hasn't reported the cause of death.

If someone has the corona and they are involved in a auto accident and are decapitated, is the cause of death Covid19 or motor vehicular accident?
