The Reagan family is looking for answers after a new test from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed their son, who was once thought to be the state’s youngest Kovid-19 victim, did not actually have the virus.
What are the details?
Matthew Irwin, 26, died suddenly in early July just a few days earlier after a serious illness. At the time, state health officials said his death was likely. The fact that he showed many symptoms was the result of coronavirus.
According to KGW-TV, Irwin was listed as the youngest coronavirus victim in the state.
“When he was included in the death count, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) used information from Irwin’s death certificate, which listed Covid-19 as the cause or significant condition that contributed to his death,” the news outlet said. “The state reports the same thing to people who died of disease and with the disease. It says it conforms to the CDC’s national recommendations.”
But the family was always skeptical about the diagnosis. None of Irvine’s coworkers, family members or roommates tested positive for the virus, the family said. A coronavirus test performed at the hospital during Irwin’s emergency room visit came back negative, the outlet said.
And now, according to the family and state medical examiner’s fee, the new CDC test concludes that it does not have the virus. After an independent autopsy returned inconclusive, the family sent a sample of Irwin’s lung tissue to the health agency, and CDC examination found no evidence of Covid-19.
On Wednesday, the Reg Reagan Health Authority announced that Irwin had been removed from the state’s coronavirus death toll list.
What else
The family said their experience may be just one example of many people in the state where medical professionals and health officials have done it wrong.
“They did blood tests and her white blood cell count was increased so they said it basically looks like COVID,” Irwin’s mother Kimberly Irwin told local news. “From the beginning I thought the discharge diagnosis was wrong.”
The family wanted to take an autopsy immediately after his death, but the state medical examiner’s office fee allegedly refused and said it was understated. The report noted that Yamhill County also refused to top ops.
“They didn’t look at it differently. They assumed it was Kovid and an autopsy should be done to find out why this young man died.” Said Irwin’s stepfather, Michael Lehne.
In search of answers, the family hired a private pathologist to perform ops topsy. The report said he returned indefinitely, but the pathologist said Irwin’s death was related to rapid lung progression and blood clots. It was also at this time that Irwin’s lung tissue was sent to the CDC for testing.
Anything else?
Other stories about the number of deaths from the untreated coronavirus have spread since the onset of the epidemic, and speculation has been rife that the number of coronaviruses in the United States could increase.
The Blaze has covered some inappropriate reports in Florida, including a 20-year-old man in a motorcycle accident, a 60-year-old man who died of a gunshot wound to the head, and a 77-year-old man. Who died of Parkinson’s disease.
Then, in late August, the CDC released a report stating that only 6% of deaths from Covid-19 in the U.S. were the sole cause of death as a coronavirus without any other tolerance.
